Support for Veterans, Spouses, and Spouse Survivors

Aging and Disability Services offers no-cost, in-home counseling to men and women that served in the military, including their spouse and spouse survivor, aged 55+ who may feel lost, lonely, or sad.

PEARLS stands for Program to Encourage Active and Rewarding Lives. It helps people feel better by identifying problems and working toward solutions. PEARLS counseling may be provided in addition to other veteran and non-veteran services.

For more information, including brochures, flyers, and video stories, contact Suzet Tave (206-615-0533).

This program received funding from the Veterans, Seniors and Human Services Levy.
