Telecounseling

Telecounseling

Tele-counseling is another option for you to receive services. You may now request tele-counseling for your initial appointment as well as follow up appointments throughout your participation in the program.

This allows you to effectively communicate with your Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor (VRC) without traveling to the Regional Office or out-based locations. You will only need a webcam in your computer or mobile device to use this option. If you are interested in tele-counseling, please contact your VRC. Your VRC will work with you to schedule an appointment and will send a link to you to access the meeting.


VA Welcome Kit

Whether you’re just getting out of the service or you’ve been a civilian for years now, the VA Welcome Kit can help guide you to the benefits and services you’ve earned.

Based on where you are in life, your VA benefits and services can support you in different ways. Keep your welcome kit handy so you can turn to it throughout your life—like when it’s time to go to school, get a job, buy a house, get health care, retire, or make plans for your care as you age.

Feel free to share this guide with friends or family members who need help with their benefits too. Download your VA Welcome Kit and print out copies for yourself and others!
