Staten Island Vet Center recognizes the existing diversity within the Veteran population, including the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBTQ+) community. 

At the Staten Island Vet Center, we work to bridge mental health care with every other aspect of Veterans’ lives.  You can expect your counselor to help you highlight the connection between mental health and various aspects of self-care (e.g. food and drink, working your body, surroundings, spirit and soul, personal development, recharging, and relationships).
