Veterans

Aging and Disability Services offers no-cost, in-home, PEARLS counseling to men and women who served in the military, including their spouse and spouse survivor, aged 55+ who may be feeling down, sad, or blue.

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).
