Vet Centers are part of the Department of Veterans Affairs Readjustment Counseling Service (RCS). Vet Centers were started in the 1970s in response to the needs of Vietnam-era veterans who wanted services directly in their home communities. Vet Centers are often located in homes or “store fronts” in over 200 communities nationwide. Vet Centers can provide many supportive services to include counseling, support groups, couples counseling, referral sources, camaraderie, and a place to “come home”.
