SUPPORT FOR VETERANS
IN APPRECIATION FOR SERVICES
ABPOL takes pride in being a comprehensive and multifaceted organization that is dedicated to providing veterans with the support and resources they need in order to rebuild their lives and achieve their goals. By addressing housing, medical services, reemployment support services, training connections, and social support, ABPOL is able to offer a holistic approach to meeting the diverse needs of veterans and helping them to thrive in their post-military lives.
One of the key aspects of ABPOL's mission is to provide stable and secure housing for veterans who may be homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. Homelessness is a significant issue among veterans, and having a safe and stable place to live is crucial in order for veterans to be able to rebuild their lives and move forward. By providing housing support, ABPOL is able to address one of the most pressing needs that veterans may have.
In addition to housing support, ABPOL also offers access to medical services for veterans who may be struggling with physical or mental health issues related to their service. Many veterans may have unique healthcare needs that require specialized care, and by connecting them with medical services, ABPOL is able to ensure that veterans are able to access the care they need in order to improve their overall well-being.
Reemployment support services are also a key focus of ABPOL's mission. Many veterans may struggle to find stable and fulfilling employment after leaving the military, and ABPOL works to provide resources and support to help veterans connect with job opportunities that are well-suited to their skills and experiences. This can include assistance with resume writing, job search strategies, and interview preparation, as well as access to job training programs and other resources that can help veterans build successful careers.
Training connections are another important aspect of ABPOL's mission. Veterans may need access to specialized training in order to pursue new career opportunities or to further develop their skills in their current field. ABPOL works to connect veterans with training programs that can help them gain the skills and certifications they need in order to advance in their careers and achieve their goals.
Finally, social support is a key element of ABPOL's approach to supporting veterans. Many veterans may struggle with feelings of isolation or disconnection after leaving the military, and having a strong support system in place can make a significant difference in their overall well-being. ABPOL offers social support services that provide veterans with opportunities to connect with others who have shared experiences, as well as resources and programs that can help them build strong social networks and relationships.

behavior patterns
KNOWING WHEN HELP IS NEEDED
NO ONE SHOULD EXPERIENCE fear and worries that causes sadness hopelessness and homelessness due to displacement or traumas. Many times you will notice that those who suffer are uninterested in things that they should normally be enjoying. Becoming irritated easily and refusing to participate in fun activities, going to work ,or struggling with peer pressure plays prevalent in their behavior. In our observation, we've learned when people do not outgrow the fears and worries that are associated with being mentally abused or socially challenged it interferes with school, home, daily activities, and personalities. These traits are also known to be anxieties. Not only does anxiety play a pondering role, social abuse also causes depression. In many cases, studies have shown that this causes alcoholism and or change in eating habits that occur often times than none and usually can lead to noticeable change in communication with others. Unfortunately ,these people will have a hard time paying attention and taking responsibility for themselves. Instability; if not addressed and attended to in early stages of it's occurrence it could cause extreme destructive behavior against others and may lead to suicide.

IT STARTS FROM HERE MOST TIMES
These Are The Stories From Victims Who Were Kind Enough To Share Their Traumatic Experiences With Us. Destruction As a Child can Lead to a Displaced Adult
The trauma of abuse is never fully gone from a person's consciousness. It's filthy stain leaves it's residue on the soul forever. However, like all bad experiences, it is possible to turn this experience into good by developing compassion and empathy for self and others who have been through this experience. Many people feel that bringing meaning to a traumatic experience is a path to healing but people like me that suffers from mental abuse try to turn a negative experience into something positive that will brings meaning into our lives. Some of us look for our abuser later in life just to get back that revenge... and most times it doesn't end well. The child always suffer.
Brian C., Texas ( now serving life in prison for the murder of his abuser)
Too many times I have used my smile to trick people into thinking everything was okay with me, but in reality, it felt like everything was falling apart. I tried showing others that I was happy, but there was still something inside of me that continued eating away at my smile. I was abused physically, mentally and emotionally by family members that came to live with my parents and I. Today I'm still recovering from all of the insults and names I was called. I'm 19 years old now and most would think that I would be over the pain," I will never be over it. " I spend most of my time alone and when I do try to engage with others I feel embarrassed because it feels like I'm sticking out like a sore thumb. In my head I believe that everyone is watching and they all know what happen to me as a child' so I shy away. Nowadays, my only person I really feel safe around is me.
Vincent Y., Ohio
Another bad day when nothing went right. The minute he laid eyes on me I knew he saw nothing but red. As always, he would remind me of how stupid I was for being a girl child. He said he never wanted any children at all and when I came I made things even worst. When Mom passed away, I was hoping that someone else would take me in, but of coarse that didn't happen. At the time I was only 7 years old. Not old enough to make my own decisions, but I surely had some good ideas about running away, So I tried. Unfortunately, one of his friends caught me at the end of our dead end street. I didn't get far. Later that day while eating dinner, he begin to yelling for no reason at all. He picked up his plate and threw it across the room. I was terrified ! I thought that night I would die. Instead he went into the basement and stayed there all night. Silently I got up from the table and went into my lonely room hoping to fall asleep quickly. That didn't happen because I was too terrified to close my eyes. Finally I fell off to sleep. Early that morning, I wondered why he didn't come to my room as he usually do to yell 'get your lazy ass out of the bed, you should've went to sleep early enough!' I slowly walked to his bedroom and pressed my ear against the door trying to listen for his snores but I heard nothing. I eased open the door all to find the man that never wanted me had swallowed two bottles of pills and killed himself. After all the traumatizing, loud yelling, name calling every day and night I was happy that he killed himself and not me. My life remains bitter sweet and sometimes I actually find myself looking forward to the torture. At least I'm still alive ! My therapy sessions have increased due to my two suicide attempts on my own life, I've been on several psych wards inside of a hospital outside of my town. I now reside here at a place where they say is for friends like me and they are going to get me all better, but I don't know what that means.
Melanie N., P.A.
Out of rage, he would put his hands over my mouth and around my throat. Out of endearment he ran his fingers through my hair, while whispering sweet things in my ear. He said things I knew he couldn't have meant . One beat my body, the other beat my soul. While I fought to free myself from his tight grip and what seemed like a spellbind, I felt as if I was slowly passing out. When he decided to let me go and pushing me to the floor, he never forgot to add on how much of a slut I was. Many times he would use his boot to pin me to the floor and dare me to break away. Sometimes I thought my heart would just stop beating . Until now I don't know who was the bigger monster, his hands or his words.
