As we wrap us April as National Counseling Awareness Month, we highlight this as a time to honor the important work counselors do in fostering mental health and wellness. This month offers Washington Department of Veterans Affairs (WDVA) an opportunity to acknowledge the Counseling and Wellness contracted counselors who support Washington’s Veterans and their families every day, while also addressing some of the challenges created by military service.
The War Trauma Program, previously known as the PTSD/War Trauma Outpatient Program, was created around 1984 by Tom Schumacher, LMHC, and provides no cost, clinical, out-patient confidential counseling. Our services have some differences to those offered at the Federal VA , more specifically family members are eligible, and are private and confidential between the client and the counselor.
