When a family member serves in the military, the whole family serves in a way, too. Military families often face unique challenges, from deployments and moves to adjusting to life after military service. That's why Tennessee has launched a new online resource to help veterans and their loved ones find support.
The new Veterans Connect Portal brings helpful resources together in one easy to use place. Tennessee is home to more than 430,000 veterans, and this new portal is designed to connect veterans, service members and military families with services across the state.
Families can search for reliable resources related to healthcare, housing, employment, education, benefits, and community programs. Instead of searching multiple websites, users can find verified services all in one location. The portal also helps connect people with organizations that can guide them to the support they need.
Supporting veterans means supporting their families, too. Family members often help veterans navigate benefits, find healthcare, secure housing and access other important services. Having a central place to find information can save time and reduce stress.
Tennessee already offers many programs for military and veteran families, including counseling services, education resources, family support programs, and assistance during deployments or life transitions. The new Veterans Connect Portal makes it easy to discover these opportunities and learn what help may be available.

Whether your loved one recently left military service, has been a veteran for many years, or is currently serving, assistance may be available. The Veterans Connect Portal is available to families in all 95 Tennessee counties and can help connect you with resources that support your family's health and well-being.
