Joseph P. Dwyer Veterans Peer Support Project

Joseph P. Dwyer Veterans Peer Support Project Meet other Veterans working thru post-service transition & learn resources! Call (631) 853-8345 to find out more information or Email: ntappin@mhaw.org

We are Vets helping Vets, offering opportunities to come together in support of each other, to listen and benefit from each other’s experience with service-related issues - everything from getting back into civilian life, to returning to school, or civilian jobs, or family life, and navigating the VA and learning about services in the community. While every deployment is different there is one constant: The camaraderie that comes from our shared experience of life in the military. Whether we served in the jungles of Vietnam, the deserts of Iraq, the mountains of Afghanistan, or on a ship at sea, we are among the few who understand what it’s like. Our program is honor of and named after Joseph Dwyer, who is forever going to be linked to the war in Iraq because of the picture of him running through a fire fight carrying a young wounded Iraqi boy. It is what we do to remember why he lived - not how he died.

CALLING ALL VETERANS!
Do you have your own business and are looking to give back to other veterans? Do you have a skill or certification that would come in handy to assist another veteran in need?

WE NEED YOU!!

With the support of the Suffolk County Marathon Grant, we are putting together a VETERAN VOLUNTEER FORCE to help veterans in need with landscaping, small home improvement needs, and organization projects. We'll also be looking for donations for materials needed to complete these projects.

Please reach out to Nancy Tappin at ntappin@mhaw.org to fill out a volunteer form. Call (631) 538-9314 if you have any questions! Let's give back and do some good together!
