Veteran Services – Volunteers of America

The Veterans Services Volunteers of America Outreach office is located in Cheyenne, Wyoming. This office works with veterans who are experiencing hardships in their lives, whether it be mental health challenges or homelessness or struggles with substance use.

This nonprofit organization is committed to helping support both veterans and their families through a range of medical and mental and social services. Veterans face unique challenges that impact their mental health. As they deal with the experiences they had in training, on base, and during deployment — some of which were traumatic — it can be challenging to manage emotional and mental health. Unfortunately many veterans will turn to substance use to help alleviate some of the pain they might be feeling. This is where the support of Volunteers of America is invaluable.

The veteran services at Volunteers of America are designed to help you find your path to health and wellness. You can get referred to one of their transitional living facilities or find support through education and vocational support as well as life skills training. They can help you if you are struggling with dark thoughts and can connect you with basic life necessities like food and clothing.

Services look different for every veteran and for some it may mean addiction recovery and therapy while others might simply need a safe place to call home as they rebuild their life. There’s a network of support here that you can lean on and you can connect with other veterans who have faced similar challenges. You won’t feel alone, instead you’ll find companionship in individuals and staff who have experienced similar challenges.

The staff and Volunteers of America are committed to helping you and your family work toward a life of health and wellness.
