Idaho Division of Veterans Services
If you or someone you care about is experiencing difficulty, the Idaho Division of Veterans Services recommends seeking out the many services offered by Vet Centers across the US and in surrounding territories (US Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, Guam, and American Samoa). Vet Centers are VA community-based counseling centers providing a wide range of social and psychological services to Veterans, active duty service members (including National Guard and Reserve components), and their families. Readjustment counseling is available for making a successful transition from military to civilian life or after a traumatic event experienced in the military. Individual, group, marriage and family counseling is available, in addition to referral and connection to other VA or community benefits and services. Vet Center counselors and outreach staff, many of whom are Veterans themselves, are experienced and prepared to discuss the tragedies of war, loss, grief, and transition after trauma.
