The Veteran Services department of Tri-County continuosly strives to enhance access to services for Veterans in Montgomery, Walker, and Liberty Counties with support from the Texas Veterans Commission’s Military Veteran Peer Network (http://www.tvc.state.tx.us/Military-Veteran-Peer-Network.aspx). The program was created to improve access to mental health services, but over the years it has evolved with connecting Veterans to all services.
How we accomplish this is limitless. We are constantly striving to make a collective impact within the community to bring everyone together, especially Veteran service organizations who are all trying to do the same thing, serve Veterans. The awesome thing is, this program is not only here in my area, we are scattered throughout the state all attached to our Local Mental Health Authorities. (Click here: MVPN Coordinator Map)
