Amy Reese, a veteran and CEO of ARC Business Solutions, says she's "thrilled to see the impact" her organization's "Business Boots on the Ground" program will have on military veterans in Georgia.
The nonprofit, in a partnership with Access to Capital for Entrepreneurs, is offering a 10-session course that includes everything from financial training to mental health support, and Yolanda Neals, a holistic healing curator and social entrepreneur, will facilitate sessions focused on veterans' mental health, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
"We are excited to embark on this transformative journey with ACE, enhancing our shared mission to support veteran business owners not just economically, but holistically," Reese says in a press release.
"This unique program is designed exclusively for Veteran Business Owners, merging expert business growth strategies, certification guidance, and comprehensive mental health support in an unprecedented framework."
