1. Sounds like a great program

For vets who can't be seen right away at a VA hospital, there are also the Vet Centers. They don't have a psychiatrist on staff, but there's usually a psychologist and other counselors and they offer both individual and group therapy.

Like most Vet Centers now, my local one also has a counselor who is a woman vet herself who specializes in working with other women vets.

Many Vet Centers now also have mobile units that that go out to vet events (like the Memorial Day 2014 display of a mobile Wall in SoCal) and stay onsite to offer counseling throughout the event.
