Meeting Life’s Challenges
ART TAKES COURAGE:
HONORING THE ARTISTIC TALENTS OF VETERANS
The Veterans Services Project made its official debut on
Thursday, June 25th, with the opening reception for Art
Takes Courage: Honoring the Artistic Talents of Veterans,
featuring works from participants in Living Resources’
women veterans art group, and Soldier On, a veteransservices program based in Pittsfield, Massachusetts.
The event, co-chaired by Rhea P. Clark of the Clark Family
and the Review Foundation and Robert W. Lazar of Living
Resources Foundation Board, was attended by nearly 200
guests, who experienced the work of 26 veteran artists on
display in the Miller Sanders Gallery. Limited-edition prints
of select pieces of artwork were available for sale, with
artists on hand to sign their pieces and talk to guests.
The evening paid tribute not only to the artists and
their work, but also featured participation by military
personnel and veterans. “We really wanted this event to be
something special, to truly thank the veterans and show our
commitment to serve them,” said Michael Cognetti, Director
of the VSP and Brain Injury Services.
Amy Amoroso, Veterans Business Advisor at the Veterans
Business Outreach Center (VBOC) served as emcee for
the event, which included the posting of the colors (flag
ceremony), performed by the 109th Airlift Wing Base
Honor Guard, the National Anthem, sung by veteran
Frederick Ingleton, and the Pledge of Allegiance, led by
THE VETERANS SERVICES PROJECT:
PROUDLY SERVING THOSE WHO SERVED
Returning to civilian life after military service presents
veterans with new opportunities – and new challenges,
sometimes complicated by conditions such as posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), brain injuries and
depression. These challenges led to the creation of the
Veterans Services Project (VSP)
at Living Resources.
Drawing on over 40 years of
experience serving individuals
throughout the Capital/Saratoga region, the VSP is an
agency-wide initiative which expands our broad range of
community-based supports and specialized services to men

and women who have served in the armed forces, regardless
of whether they have recently retired, or if their years of
service are long behind them.
Although the program officially launched in the summer of
2015, Living Resources has been serving vets for years - in
2014 alone, more than 120 former military personnel were
served. The VSP’s comprehensive services include Brain
Injury Services, professional home health, employment
services, outreach, assessment, advocacy, and community
involvement, as well as the Arts Program.
In 2014, an expressive arts program for female vets
was started, held weekly at the Stratton Veterans
Administration Medical Center (VA) in Albany. The
program proved to be such a success that it was renewed
and more classes are in the works.

Robert Lazar, himself a former Marine, introduced guest
speaker Gunnery Sergeant Albert Roman, Jr. (U.S. Marines,
retired), who spoke of his experiences in Iraq and Afghanistan
and their long-term effects.
The evening included remarks by Living Resources CEO, Fred
Erlich, Albany Stratton VA Director, Linda W. Weiss, and John
F. Downing, CEO of Soldier On, all of whom spoke about the
importance of collaboration in providing care and services
for veterans.
Each of the participating artists received a certificate of
recognition for their work, presented to them by the event
speakers and by Roxanne DelFavero, art instructor for the
Stratton VA Women Veterans art group and Nathan Hanford,
who teaches art at Soldier On.
Though the event was designed to thank veterans for their service
and to honor their creative talents, we found that the gratitude
was a two-way street: throughout the evening, artists and their
families repeatedly expressed their thanks for the recognition.
We look forward to the growth of the VSP and making Art
Takes Courage an annual event.
Meet These Artists
Sharon L. Price and Kevin Binkley were among the four artists to have
prints of their work sold at the Art Takes Courage reception.
Artist Kevin Binkley, whose print “Alone” was sold at the reception, wrote
a letter to Living Resources CEO, Fred Erlich, after the event:
“People ask me the significance of the tiger*, and I tell them, it’s a self-portrait
… We’re both wounded survivors.” said Price. “The Arts Program gives me a
different lens to look at life through. It gives me something to look forward
to, while at the same time, keeping me
grounded.”
“I want to graciously thank you and LR for hosting the gallery and support
(sic) myself and other veterans. I have been painting just about three years
and it has been a large part of my therapy. One day I just picked it up and
started. I have shared this talent with friends around the country, but have
always kept myself from showing (the) public. This was a big kicker to help
me continue to grow in
what I love to do.”

For Rob Corso (Class of 2014), his lifelong passion for cars led
him to a paid internship at the body shop of Orange Motors

“I’ve always loved cars,” said Rob. “In my high school BOCES

happy to do my internship at Orange Motors. I really like it there.”
And Orange Motors liked Rob. In fact, they liked him so much
that when his internship ended, they worked with Rob’s job
coach, Bill Lynch, to hire him as a part-time employee, detailing
cars and keeping the shop clean. “We’re really grateful to

“The VA has been a great partner,” said Michael Cognetti,

very supportive of the art group, and we currently have six
clients who do volunteer work there.”
“Many vets don’t trust the system,” Horace said of his outreach
work with homeless and disenfranchised former military personnel. “Sometimes it takes a vet to really understand another.”

To learn more about the Veterans Services Project,
“We’re very person-centered,” said Veterans Services
Specialist, Harold Horace, “One of the first things we do when
someone enters the program is ask, ‘what do you need?’”
Horace recounts a case where a vet had been living in
substandard housing without a water heater or a stove,
cooking his meals on a hotplate. “The VSP was able to get him
the water heater, and a stove … We’ve also paid vet’s phone
bills. It’s so important to make sure that these individuals
aren’t isolated, that they stay connected.”
Himself a veteran and survivor of a brain injury, Horace
started out by receiving services from Living Resources and
acting as a liaison between the agency and the VA. As the
VSP was being created, he was hired to work with vets in the
program and to continue making connections with those in
need of services. (Read Harold’s story in the Winter 2013 issue
of Sharing the Journey.)

n early 2015 Living Resources asked for help from the

The response was truly inspiring.

Pay It Forward Fund this year thanks
to the generosity of our staff.
For individuals and families challenged by developmental
disabilities and/or brain injuries, the costs associated with
recreational and educational outings can be difficult to
manage. The family budget may have lost its main wage
earner or be overwhelmed by expenses associated
with disabilities.
The Pay It Forward Fund is there to make up the difference so
the individuals we serve don’t go without. This fund covers
summer camp fees, music lessons, museum admissions, and
so much more.
We are deeply grateful for the hard work and dedication of
all Living Resources staff, and we are proud of this wonderful
employee-led tradition of caring.
