Welcome to the Indiana Department of Veterans' Affairs
Since its establishment in 1945, the Indiana Department of Veterans Affairs (IDVA) has remained focused on aiding and assisting "Hoosier" veterans, and qualified family members or survivors, who are eligible for benefits or advantages provided by Indiana and the U.S. government.
Military OneSource focus for the month is on offering assistance in either maintaining a healthy weight or returning to a healthy weight. It should come as no surprise that each requires the same thing: a healthy diet, daily exercise and a long-term commitment to your physical well-being. But as everyone who has struggled with weight knows, this can be more difficult that it sounds. That's why Military OneSource uses different approaches to help you with weight management based on your individual needs and preferences. Let us help you maintain or rediscover a healthier you!

In addition, September is National Preparedness Month. The American Red Cross site (http://www.redcross.org/prepare/location/home-family/plan) is a great place to find tips on creating a Family “Game Plan” to ensure your family’s safety in the event of a disaster. This site has downloadable templates in English and Spanish with in-depth instructions for a thorough safety plan. The Red Cross also has a Safe and Well website (https://safeandwell.communityos.org/) on which you can register to let your family and friends know that you’re okay following a disaster.
