Bay County Vet Center

How Ya Doing Bay County?

Matt Standish from the Bay County Vet Center joins us to talk about the "best kept secret in the VA". Matt informs us of all the free, confidential services available at the Vet Center for veterans and their families. The Vet Center in Bay County, FL is just one of 300 Vet Centers in the U.S. After talking about the Vet Center, we couldn't help asking about Matt's active duty experiences in the US Air Force, deployments and his book. He shares personal tools that he used as First Sergeant to keep up morale and build resiliency.
"Vet Centers are community-based counseling centers that provide a wide range of social and psychological services, including professional readjustment counseling to eligible Veterans, active duty service members, including National Guard and Reserve components, and their families. Readjustment counseling is offered to make a successful transition from military to civilian life or after a traumatic event experienced in the military. Individual, group, marriage and family counseling is offered in addition to referral and connection to other VA or community benefits and services. Vet Center counselors and outreach staff, many of whom are Veterans themselves, are experienced and prepared to discuss the tragedies of war, loss, grief and transition after trauma." - Vet Centers (Readjustment Counseling) Home (va.gov)
