While no TV spot can capture the full scope of someone's story and the impact we've made, Easterseals continues to make a lasting difference in the lives of 1.5 million people each year by providing disability and community services at every stage of life.
Public Service Announcements (PSAs)
Easterseals partners with veterans to ensure their successful transition to civilian life. For veterans, military spouses, and caregivers, this sometimes includes mental health resources, job training, and housing assistance, helping them build independence and stability. This is our dedication in action since World War II. View our recent PSA that offers an anonymous screening as an easy way to gain clarity about your mental health.
