Helping Veterans Adjust to Civilian Life

Many veterans coming home from Iraq and Afghanistan have a hard time getting used to life outside the military. It can be tough for people who haven’t been in the military to really understand what they’re going through.

That’s why Coastal Plains Community Center offers help from Veteran Peer Service Coordinators, Jaime Cantu and Vincent Klus. Both are veterans who have been through these same struggles. They are trained to help other veterans by listening, giving advice, and sharing their own stories.

Peer-to-Peer Support Groups

We are starting “In the Zone” support groups for veterans in the nine counties served by Coastal Plains. These groups are a safe place where veterans can talk with others who understand what they’ve been through.

The goal is to help veterans:

  • Adjust to life after military service
  • Get back into everyday life
  • Feel supported by others like them

As time goes on, group members can become leaders and help other veterans too.

Connecting Veterans to Local Resources

The Veterans Services and Supports Project helps veterans and their families find services in the community. This can include help with:

  • Food
  • Housing
  • Counseling or therapy
  • Health care
  • Finding a job

We also help connect veterans to bigger groups like:

  • Disabled Veterans
  • Grace Under Fire
  • American GI Forum

These groups help veterans get the benefits and support they need.
