Mental Health America of Dutchess County (MHA) provides many services to the residents of Dutchess County, ranging from the Mobile Crisis Center, sober supported housing, and care management. One of the most wide-reaching group of programs are for veterans. Alyssa Carrion, the Director of Veterans Programs is the guest of Radio Rotary, who describes the several programs MHA offers to vets. Vet2Vet provides emotional support and assistance in obtaining benefits.

Another program deals with housing, employment, and reintegration. The Veterans Employment Training and Transitions Program mainly helps veterans with obtaining employment. Because so many veterans suffer from Post- Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), MHA provides suicide prevention along with programs of different forms of therapy. MHA programs also link to other veterans’ services. All MHA programs for veterans are free.
