ABOUT US:
Staff:
Vet centers are staffed with professionals experienced and
trained in working with veterans. Counselors come from many
disciplines including psychology, social work, nursing and
rehabilitation counseling. Many staff members are military
veterans themselves!
Working environment:
Vet Centers are a place of action. Because Vet Center counselors
are expert in psychological impact of trauma, in recent years they
have been called upon to assist not only military veterans, but
also to consult regarding those affected by earthquakes,
hurricanes, airline disasters and criminal violence.
Vet Centers are a place of learning. Counselors receive ongoing
in-service training from experts in the field.

Although the Vet Center provides a broad range of Readjustment
services, it does have a specialty - the treatment of war trauma. Such
traumas often, but not always, result in a condition called Post-Traumatic
Stress Disorder (PTSD)... Family members and significant others are also
eligible to receive readjustment counselling services when related to the
resolution of the veteran's readjustment difficulties. All services are free
to eligible veterans and their families and significant others.
