Connecting you with the right veteran resources.
Some of what a veteran needs is not a claim. It is a clinic, a counselor, or someone to call tonight. These are the ones nearest Columbus and Fort Benning. If you are not sure which one fits, call us and we will point you to it.

Questions veterans ask.
Is a Vet Center the same as a VA clinic?
No. A VA clinic provides medical care. A Vet Center offers free, confidential, non-medical counseling for veterans, service members and their families, for things like PTSD, depression, grief and family concerns, and it can help connect you to benefits.
What if I am in crisis right now?
Dial 988 and press 1, or text 838255, to reach the Veterans Crisis Line. It is free, confidential and open 24/7. You do not need to be enrolled in VA benefits or health care.
Do you work with veterans outside this area?
Yes. Most of our work happens by phone, by email and through the secure intake form, so we work with veterans anywhere in the country. For local resources where you live, the VA's location finder is the best place to start.
