Description

Offers comprehensive support to veterans, military personnel, and their families to address challenges related to deployments, reintegration, and accessing entitled benefits. The program is staffed by certified veteran peer support specialists who provide peer-to-peer mentoring, group support, and therapeutic counseling.

Assistance is available to help veterans understand and access the full range of benefits and services they are entitled to, including guidance on eligibility criteria, application processes, and representation in administrative or legal matters. 

Veterans and their family members are encouraged to drop in or call with any concern; if the agency cannot directly assist, it is part of a network that can provide additional resources. Programs include the Voices of Veterans writing group, which meets monthly; a weekly support group for Vietnam veterans; and a Wednesday evening gathering for OIF/OEF veterans focused on food and camaraderie. Additional support meetings are initiated as needs arise.
