If you’re returning from military service, we’ll help you transition to civilian life. We can connect you with educational and career counseling, mental health services, and other programs

and benefits that will support your transition. We offer guidance in many different areas of a Veteran’s transition from military to civilian life. We work with both active and non-active

service members in obtaining resources and benefits the Veteran or service member has earned. Here’s a list of important resources a Veteran or service member might need:   BENEFITS * The
