Veterans Talking to Veterans (VTTV)
A community-based service for Veterans seeking to connect and develop goals. Veterans who participate in groups are provided with a safe and supportive environment where they can come together to share.
This is a service facilitated by trauma informed coaches who will support Veterans as they embark on a path of personal growth, find healing through connection, meaning, and discover their purpose.
VTTV is not counseling or therapy; this a service for Veterans and not a clinic, so therefore it is not eligible for reimbursement of VTS transportation.
- Where: Cheyenne VA Medical Center campus, building 6 (Veteran Experience Office)
- When: Thursdays from 3:00 – 4:00 p.m. starting August 8, 2024.
- Who to call: For questions about the VTTV program, or if you're interested, Veterans can call 307-778-7550, ext. 1411
- POC: Mel Turner, Veteran Experience Officer
