Abstract
This study is designed to investigate the disconnect between the intended outcomes of a military transition assistance program, and its implementation and effectiveness for a veterans transition experience. The research method for this study included focus group interviews which were conducted at various non profit veteran assistance agencies in Southwest Washington. 29 participants were interviewed using a convenience sampling method. Responses from these interviews indicated that there are not only several areas where the transition assistance programs needed to address gaps in services, but that there are many more factors that attribute to a veterans transitioning process after they are discharged from the military such as: family and peer support, and mental or physical health diagnoses.
