Westchester, Explained 11: Veterans in Westchester

As an extension of our weekly "This Week in Westchester - The Podcast" we welcome you to Westchester, Explained. In this special long-form series we take you deeper into the headlines, decisions and policies shaping Westchester County and their impact on your family, your neighborhood and your future. Here we slow it down, dig in and bring in the people doing the work, and we explain not just what the County is doing, but why it matters. Because government should be clear. This is your County.  And this is Westchester, Explained.  On this episode, we’re talking about Veterans, Military Service, and being a Veteran here in Westchester -- with Josh Gaccione, the Director of the Westchester County Veterans Service Agency. We discuss everything from reintegration and mental health, housing, education benefits and the importance of building community among veterans of all generations. We also explore why younger veterans are often harder to reach, how the County is working to connect them with resources and why no veteran or military family should ever feel like they have to navigate life after service alone.  This episode is a reminder that Westchester remains committed to both honoring and supporting veterans long after their service ends.  --- Do you have feedback or a suggestion for a future podcast topic?

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
