Harry S. Truman Memorial Veterans’ Hospital and the Columbia Vet Center are teaming up to provide area Veterans with services such as Veterans Health Administration enrollment, counseling for post-traumatic stress disorder and military sexual trauma during an event in Chariton County next week.

A news release says, through use of the Mobile Vet Center (MVC), a 37-foot-long mobile resource unit, bereavement, marriage and family counseling also are available. Additional resources for Veterans through the MVC include VA benefits information and suicide prevention referrals.

The customized MVC vehicle is equipped with confidential counseling space to extend access to VA services to Veterans, servicemembers and their families – especially those living in rural or remote communities. The MVC also provides readjustment counseling and information resources to Veterans to assist them in the difficult transition between military and civilian life.

The MVC will be parked from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tuesday, February 16, at VFW Post 4926 at 209 South Broadway Street in Salisbury.
