IAVA Spokesperson Carolyn Schapper was interviewed by NPR as part of a series they are doing on veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan. She discussed how IAVA's Community of Veterans has helped her transition, her VA care, and being a female veteran.
PBS’ “To the Contrary” highlighted the IAVA issue report “Women Warriors: Supporting She ‘Who Has Borne the Battle’,” especially the challenges to women within the VA healthcare system. IAVA spokesperson Carolyn Schapper explains that VA hospitals tend to have serious weaknesses in supporting women’s health needs, including mental health.
