VA to Provide Counseling Services at Game 4 of the World Series

As the San Francisco Giants and Texas Rangers head to Arlington, Texas for games 3, 4, and 5 of the World Series, they will have an additional guest--the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). The VA is partnering with Major League Baseball and the Texas Rangers to provide readjustment counseling to veterans who are attending game 4 of the World Series on October 31st.

"With thousands of Lone Star veterans on hand to see the Rangers try for their first World Series championship, this will be a great venue to reach out," says VA Secretary Eric Shinseki. "VA is thankful to Major League Baseball for this opportunity."

The VA has 50 mobile Vet Centers throughout the U.S. that provide a host of counseling services for combat Veterans and their families. VA mobile Vet Centers have a small waiting room and two mental health counseling offices. They can also be modified to provide basic medical care. For game 4, the mobile Vet Centers will be on site for the entire day and veterans can stop by to receive counseling services.

For more information about mobile Vet Centers and the VA's partnership with Major League Baseball, refer to the Department of Veterans Affairs' Press Release: VA Going to World Series.
