Disturbing the Silence
About WVSS North Carolina
Our Mission
We address the unique needs and specialized care for women veterans with or without children requiring emergency shelter due to homelessness or domestic violence, providing the following services:
- To obtain help with immediate needs, such as shelter, food, and clothing, and transition aid through existing networks and resources
- To help women veterans receive the benefits to which they and their families are entitled also connect them to community support
- To navigate the often-complex process of benefits application
- To ease the stress for women veterans who file claims for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and help them through the process.
- To establish the only women veteran facilities to accept children in the Triangle area
Our Vision
WVSS will provide a beacon of hope to women veterans in crisis, and that through our services at the Women Veterans Crisis and Support Center (WVCSC) in Durham, together with our education and advocacy efforts, these women and their families will have their dignity restored, and will be empowered to take positive steps to move forward in their lives.
Core Values
We believe that learning should be engaging, interactive, and fun. That's why we have developed a unique approach to education that combines traditional teaching methods with cutting-edge technology. Our courses are designed to be interactive, hands-on, and tailored to the needs of each individual student.
