Mental Health for Veterans
In order to raise awareness, foster community engagement, improve research and provide intervention for those affected by invisible injuries and emotional stress, the West Texas Veterans Directory has gathered local and regional assistance organizations to assist.
Peer Support for Veterans
Peer support can be defined as any situation in which a person uses his or her lived experience of recovery from substance abuse or other issues with mental wellness, along with skills learned in formal training, to support others’ healing and recovery from the same problems. Drawing on their own experiences as Veterans, Veteran Peer Support Specialists are uniquely equipped to offer practical skills/knowledge as well as empathy, hope, and insight.
Veterans Facing Homelessness
While only 8% of Americans can claim veteran status, 17% of our homeless population is made up of veterans. No Veteran should be without a place to call home. Many West Texas veteran organizations are collaborating with federal, state and local agencies; employers; housing providers, faith-based and community nonprofits; and others to expand employment and affordable housing options for Veterans exiting homelessness.

Employment Assistance
Texas employers value your service to our country.

Veteran Education Assistance
Today’s veterans can face any number of obstacles while furthering their education. Taking advantage of all the benefits you’ve earned and DESERVE shouldn’t be one of them! Our veteran directory provides the resources to find the assistance you need.
Veteran Museums & Memorials
Pay tribute to those who paid the ultimate sacrifice defending our nation’s freedom by visiting some of the area’s memorials, monuments, and museums.
Women Veterans
Currently, women comprise 15 percent of the active-duty military and 18 percent of the Guard and Reserve. With the steady increase of women wearing our nation’s uniform and their increased role in military operations, it has never been more important that we ensure women veterans have a VA that is ready and able to care for them when they transition back to civilian life.
