VFW, American Legion, or you can search here in RP for local veterans. There is another organization called IAVA, Iraq Afghanistan Veterans of America. Their website is IAVA.ORG. You can search there also and join groups like here.Response by PFC Joseph Levi made Aug 22 at 2015 11:08 PM2015-08-22T23:08:32-04:002015-08-22T23:08:32-04:00CPT Private RallyPoint Member911636<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>VFW, American Legion, DAV, Special Forces Association, Special Operations Association, Vietnam Veterans of America Association, IAVA, Vet Center, VA Hospital or Clinic.

In which case, the contacts I make are mostly through the VA. Here in Sierra Vista, we have a group that meets through one of our VA Satellite Clinics for discussions, support and information. Your VA, DAV, VFW and other local Veterans Service Organizations, as well as the TRICARE office, local clinics and hospitals should be able to give you a listing of groups like these in your local area if there is not a VA Satellite Clinic available. Most of these organizations also have web sites with a plethora of information as well. I've also made a few contacts here on RP that I connect with between group sessions if needed, and the Veterans Crisis Hotline's web page <a target="_blank" href="http://www.veteranscrisisline.net/">http://www.veteranscrisisline.net/</a> also has a pretty decent resources tab as well as others for the veteran, Active Duty and for family and friends, or you can call them directly [login to see] . They also have on-line chat and text capabilities. There are many Veterans organizations and sites that have information and directions to programs intended to help disabled veterans find other "like veterans" and support, but you will have to reach out to them. I hope this helps. <div class="pta-link-card answers-template-image type-default">
