At the Fairbanks Vet Center, we work to bridge mental health care with every other aspect of Veteran's 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, physical fitness, surroundings, spirit and soul, personal development, recharging, and relationships). 

Future group offerings may include:

• Healthy U
•  Veterans Support Group
• Expressive Arts (First Friday Active Duty/Veteran art displays) 
• Coffee Talk
• Walking
• Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing classes and day activities

At the West Los Angeles Vet Center, we serve our remote communities using VA Virtual Care Manager.

Many Veterans live far from the North Bay Vet Center or simply live a lifestyle that makes telehealth - also known as virtual appointments - convenient and desirable. Counselors at the North Bay Vet Center can meet by telephone or video with Veterans in a safe and confidential setting.

At the North Bay Vet Center, we are here to listen. Everyone has their own unique experience in the military and we want to hear about it, both the good and the bad. Many Veterans find it difficult to speak about some of their experiences in the military, but we believe that talking through them and even doing trauma work will make your life better, not worse. We have a staff made up of Veterans and civilians with strong connections to the military who "get it." If you feel like you've been carrying around thoughts, feelings, and memories that you have not been able to discuss with anyone else, the North Bay Vet Center is the place you can discuss those things.

The West Los Angeles Vet Center has clinicians who can provide services such as:

• Individual counseling for couples, spouses, children and significant others
• Couples counseling (Marriage and Family Therapy) 
• Spousal Support group

If you're having trouble adjusting to a difficult life change or someone close to you has died the West Los Angeles Vet Center can offer counseling and other support, such as:

• Bereavement Counseling     Vet Centers are privileged to offer bereavement counseling to family members who have lost a loved one while serving on active duty. 
• Grief Counseling  We provide grief counseling to our eligible veterans who suffer the loss of a loved one.

The West Los Angeles Vet Center understands that the transition from military to civilian life can be a challenge. We offer a variety of ways to assist you in that process such as:

• How to get VA medical benefits and register for care
