The US Dept. of Veterans Affairs operates 205 Vet Centers throughout the United States, Guam, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. We are fortunate to have one right here in Atlantic County! The goal of the Vets Outreach Center is to provide a broad range of outreach readjustment counseling, consultation, education and referral for veterans of the Vietnam war, Lebanon, Grenada, Panama, Persian Gulf and Somalia (to include Korean and WW2 Vets as well) in order to help them make a satisfactory post-war adjustment to civilian life. We also provide veterans benefits information on education and on the job training. Clinical services such as physiological testing, individual and group counseling, marital and family psychotherapy also provided. At the Vet Center, you can expect help from counselors who will treat you with respect and understanding. They are professionals who specialize in counseling. Some are war veterans. So they not only know the problems first hand, they also have the skills to help you solve them.

They have many other resources, including a network of federal, state, city and community resources that can help you with discharge review, veterans benefits, drug and alcohol treatment, women's sexual trauma, medical care, legal aid and emergency services. They will try to help you address any concern you bring to us.
