Veterans
As a reminder, we plan our events with a maximum capacity number for each one, with an open,"request a seat" window for them on our calendar. Once the window closes, typically seven days prior to the event, we then go through the prioritization criteria and send out the confirmation emails, or wait list emails if we are over our maximum planned capacity. Our goal is to ensure everyone has a chance to go to the scheduled activity they want to attend, however please understand that our programs, events, and activities are not first come first serve. We prioritize attendance based off the following list (in order);
1: Livingston County Veterans, first time participants
2: Livingston County Veterans, no matter how many events participated in.
3: Any County Veterans, first time participants
4: Any County Veterans, no matter how many events participated in.
The NYS Dwyer Coalition website has information about what the Dwyer Program is, our mission, and more importantly, an interactive NY State Map with click-able counties linked to the organization running the Dwyer Program in that county, https://josephpdwyerpeerproject.org/dwyer-counties. It is a one stop shop for all of NYS Dwyer Programs, be aware that New York State funds all 62 counties to facilitate a PFC Joseph P. Dwyer Program. If you do not see information linked in your County, please reach out to your County Veteran Services Agency or Office of Mental Health and inquire. They should know how the program is being executed in your county. Again, this is our (all Veterans) program, if you are looking for specific information, your counties elected officials, Office of Mental Health or Veteran Service Agencies should be able to steer you in the right direction to find your local Dwyer Program and link you up with the services, programs, events, or activities being provided in your area for all Veterans.
