Veterans

Aging and Disability Services offers a no-cost, in-home program called Program to Encourage Active and Rewarding Lives (PEARLS) to adults 55 years of age and older living in King County, including people who served in the military, including their spouse and spouse survivor who may be feeling down, sad, or blue.

The program 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). To join the @PEARLSvets Facebook page, click here.

This program received funding from the Veterans, Seniors and Human Services Levy.
