Impaired servicemembers now have an online directory to help them and their families.

A new federal Web site is now available to help wounded warriors and their families. The National Resource Directory (NRD) is an online tool for wounded, ill and injured servicemembers, veterans, their families and those who support them. The site provides access to more than 11,000 services and resources at the national, state and local levels to support recovery, rehabilitation and community reintegration.

The NRD is a collaborative partnership of the departments of Defense, Labor and Veterans Affairs, with information from federal, state and local government agencies, veterans service and benefit organizations, nonprofit and community-based groups, academic institutions, and professional associations that provide assistance to wounded warriors and their families.

Find out more at the NRD Web site.
