Veterans Chat
This new service enables Veterans, their families and friends to go online where they can anonymously chat with a trained VA counselor. If a “chatter” is determined to be in a crisis, the counselor can take immediate steps to transfer the person to the VA Suicide Prevention Hotline, where further counseling and referral services are provided and crisis intervention steps can be taken.
Vet Center
Vet Centers provide readjustment counseling, services for family members for military related issues and outreach services. Veterans have earned these benefits through their service and all are provided at no cost to the veteran or the family.
