What is a Vet Center?
The Department of Veterans Affairs Vet Center program operates a system of community based counseling centers. The Vet Centers are staffed by small multi-disciplinary teams of providers, many of which are combat veterans themselves. Vet Center staff are available toll free during normal business hours at 1-800-905-4675 (Eastern) and 1-866-496-8838 (Pacific).They provide readjustment counseling and outreach services to all returning soldiers and veterans who served in any combat zone. Services are also available to their family members for military related issues. There are 232 community based Vet Centers located throughout all fifty States, the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands.
