Veterans Resources

The transition from active duty back to civilian life can be a daunting prospect for many returning veterans. You may feel forever changed by your experiences and have difficulty relating to your family members, friends, coworkers and classmates. It is not uncommon for veterans to encounter some unique challenges upon returning to an academic setting. At the Adelphi Student Counseling Center, we are committed to providing our student veterans with emotional support through one-on-one and group counseling along with practical advice and referrals to available campus and community resources. Please visit or call us today for more information or to set up an appointment.
