Telecounseling

telecounseling

Tele-counseling is another option for you to receive Veteran Readiness and Employment services. You may now request tele-counseling for your initial appointment with your Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor (VRC) as well as follow-up appointments throughout your participation in the program.

This allows you to effectively communicate with your VRC without traveling to a Regional Office or out-based location. You will only need a webcam on 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 you a link to access the meeting.
