Helping Veterans & Their Families

Welcome Home Vets is a 501(c)3 nonprofit corporation founded to help veterans, active duty military, and their  families connect with local mental health providers and other veteran related resources. Our primary function is to get veterans and family members of all service eras counseling at no out-of-pocket cost to them—they have already paid the price. We also promote community awareness of the effects of post-traumatic stress and other military-related psychological conditions on the veteran, family members, and community.
