<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>I am one of the new coordinators for the Operation Healthy Reunions
project at MHA of Greater Dallas. We will be working in collaboration with the
American Red Cross on a new and exciting program. This program will be
serving <st1:country-region w:st="on">Afghanistan</st1:country-region> /<st1:country-region
w:st="on">Iraq</st1:country-region> veterans and there families in <st1:place
w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Dallas</st1:City></st1:place> and 11 surrounding
counties. We will be addressing their mental health needs as well as
other needs to help them transition back into civilian life. Operation
Healthy Reunion will assist in identifying there needs and providing the
resources for a healthy transition. The Red Cross of America will be
referring these veterans to MHA to participate in our program. This
program will be up and running no later than early Jan. 2008. We are contacting
providers in these areas that have clinical experience with individuals and
families in trauma and/or PTSD. The counties we will be serving are <st1:City
w:st="on">Dallas</st1:City>, Hunt, Collin, Van Zandt, Ellis, Rockwall, <st1:City
w:st="on">Denton</st1:City>, Rains, <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Hopkins</st1:City></st1:place>,
Delta, and Navarro. We are also, contacting local resources in these counties
to introduce our program for prospective clients and referrals. Please let me
know of any appropriate providers or resources in these counties that might
like to take part in this program. In addition, I would like to keep you
informed of any events that we are working on. Currently, we will be
hosting a two day conference in February, “HEALING-Helping Soldiers and
Their Families”. I have attached the information. The location as
not been decided but it will be in the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Dallas</st1:City></st1:place>
area. This conference will be educational and informative when working with
these veterans and their families. We are looking for sponsors as well as
exhibitors. I will send you a brochure and additional information about the
program and conference as I get it. I do not know if you remember that my
husband is in the military so I have a personal interest in this project.
I am thrilled to be part of this program and to be able to serve these
veterans as they have served us. Please feel free to call me if you need any
further information. I look forward to working with you and hope to hear from
you soon.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
