Project: Start

The Dallas Vet Center is a non-medical facility that provides confidential counseling services at no cost to Veterans, service members, and their families. They offer support for various needs such as depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and the psychological effects of military sexual trauma (MST). The center also helps connect individuals with additional support within the VA and local community. With multiple locations in Dallas, the Dallas Vet Center aims to be accessible to those in need. They offer walk-in services and same-day appointments for crisis situations, and individuals do not need to be registered for care at the VA or receiving any other form of VA benefits. The center specializes in working with active duty service members, female Veterans, and Veterans from all eras, addressing concerns such as anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, and difficulties adjusting to civilian life.Generated from the website
