Project Open Arms. How Mental Disorders and Unemployment affect Veterans

Master’s Thesis from the year 2014 in the subject Psychology - Forensic Psychology, Penal System, The Chicago School of Professional Psychology, language: English, abstract: The goal of the Project Open Arms program is to address two main problems in the veteran community: unemployment and poor and unaddressed mental health. Site facilitators and volunteers will address this problem through the administration of the program. The implementation of the program will make sure that each participant gets the help that they need and will guide them through the optional experimental research that accompanies membership in the program. The goal of this program is primarily to address the above mentioned goals for all clients that come to the program from the veteran community. With the resources (both human and non-human) at the disposal of the program’s administration, mental health and unemployment issues will be issues that will be less of a plague to the veteran community.
