Vet Centers

Vet Centers provide individual, group and family counseling to all veterans who served in any combat zone. Vet Centers are staffed by small multi-disciplinary teams of dedicated providers, many of whom are combat veterans themselves. Services are also available for family members. Veterans have earned these benefits through their combat service and all are provided at no cost to the veteran or family. Those who work at the vet centers are the people in VA who welcome home war veterans with honor by providing quality readjustment counseling in a caring manner. Vet Centers understand and appreciate veterans’ war experiences while assisting them and their family members with successful post-war adjustment.

Services Offered by the Vet Centers: Vet Centers offer broad readjustment services to military veterans. Counseling for military traumas, employment and family problems is our main focus, but we also provide referral services for VA benefits and medical assistance and liaisons with community agencies. Individual and group counseling is available for veterans and significant others. Marital, family, and sexual trauma counseling often is provided on site or is available through referral to local VAMC's. We help veterans by providing substance abuse information and referrals, along with job counseling. History of the Vet Centers: Vet Centers first opened in late 1979, providing services to Vietnam era veterans. Congress and the president later opened Vet Center doors to veterans of ALL wars and conflicts. Wars are different. Attitudes and homecomings change. Vet Centers offer common ground for men and women who served our country during war. Vet Centers Staff: Vet Center counselors offer 20 years of wisdom about veterans concerns. Many Vet Center counselors served themselves in combat zones. You can take advantage of our experience, service and community networking. We are ready to help bring you and your loved ones home from war.
