Many individuals who have experienced domestic and sexual violence also have a history of military service. In recognition of Veterans Day, MOmentum for Change is joined by Jess Asher and Michelle Vogt from Welcome Home, for a discussion of how service members are impacted by domestic and sexual violence and what resources are available to provide trauma-informed support and services. Jess and Michelle also discuss the dynamics of veteran homelessness and challenges due to the lack of affordable housing options.
