I use the VA and my husband retires next month. Does the VA offer marriage counseling? He had problems since returning from Afghanistan?

Yes they do MSG, I haven't had to use them yet, but I have heard good things about their counseling.

VA mental health offered my husband and I support with marriage counseling through a Community Care referral. We see someone near home, rather than having to commute the 70 miles to the main VA in our state. Ask your mental health provider.
