RICHMOND, Va. - s4story -- Shattered.
9/11 still resonates.

This remains a unique time within our country's long history of aid and attendance for veterans, and now emerging needs for Post-911 service members, veterans, and families. Most of America, not realizing services are limited, minimal continuum-of-care resources by US Department of Veterans Affairs, or other agencies, non-profits or community based organizations.

Meet Sharon Schlerf, Founder and CEO of Veteran Pathways Home, also a chaplain and accomplished author, co-creator of 'Courage to Change®' mental health programs, and well known author of several novels, introduces her pending non-fiction book "Direction in an Age of Confusion©"

Sharon (Schlerf) Newcomb is an accomplished mental health professional, speaker, educator, and advocate, nationally known since 1996, as an expert on military family trauma, as well as general population family and community, disaster response, and effective crisis prevention and intervention.

Within the U.S. and abroad, violence affects everyone similarly. Any kind violence changes the whole body, physical, mind/emotion (soul), and spirit or core beliefs in some way, at some level.

All of these respond to crisis and violence as part of their 'job' with intense repercussions.
