Vets for Vets

For years VCS Inc. has provided couseling for all groups of people – youth, families, seniors. Now they have a new initiative for veterans, and they are trying to put the word out.
The Vets to Vets peer counseling program can address family concerns, life crises, adjustment issues, and concerns related to post traumatic stress disorder, among others. All services are free.
VCS has trained veterans from previous wars to counsel service members returning from Iraq and Afghanistan. But it’s having problems reaching out to those veterans because the military doesn’t allow access to their names.
So VCS is now developing an advisory panel of veterans who have returned from combat in Iraq or Afghanistan, and is looking for volunteers. This panel will have members who would meet once a month to help VCS refine its peer support program and also develop an effective ourtreach program.
Interested veterans can call 845-634-5729 ext. 314.
