Mobile Veterans Center Coming to Hartwell Friday

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Mobile Veterans Center is coming to Hartwell Friday from 10a to 2p.

The mobile center will be parked at First Methodist Church in Hartwell.

The Mobile Veterans Center offers confidential help for veterans, service members, and their families at no cost in a non-medical setting.

Services include counseling for needs such as depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and the psychological effects of military sexual trauma.

They can also connect veterans with more support in VA and your community.

For those visiting the Mobile Vet Center for the first-time, you don’t need to be registered for care at VA, rated for a service-connected disability, or receiving any other form of VA benefits.

On your first visit, we’ll look for one or more of the following:

  • Discharge documents (such as a DD214)
  • Receipt of certain awardsDeployment orders
  • Other documents that show qualifying military service

If you don’t have those you have copies sent to you by going online to https://www.va.gov/records/get-military-service-records/.

Again, the Mobile Veterans Service Center event tomorrow, Friday from 10a to 2p in the parking lot of First United Methodist Church in Hartwell.

If you can’t make it tomorrow the Mobile Veterans Service Center will be in Cornelia on May 11 at the Grant Reeves Veterans Center located at 174 Cornelia Crossing Shopping Center on 441 Bypass in Cornelia.
