VA Women Veterans Program Managers
Every VA Medical Center in the country has a Women Veterans Program Manager. This person is an advocate for women Veterans. They can help you get to VA services and programs, state and federal benefits, and resources in the area where you live.
If you need help:
- Call your local VA and ask to speak to the Women Veterans Program Manager
- Learn more about the VA's Women Veterans Health Care program.
If you have questions about your VA care, reach out to the Women Veterans Call Center. You can call or text the Call Center at 855-829-6636 weekdays from 8a to 10p ET and on Saturday from 8a to 6:30p ET. You can also chat online during these same hours.
PTSD Treatment
Each medical center within VA has PTSD specialists who provide treatment for Veterans with PTSD and there are nearly 200 specialized PTSD treatment programs throughout the country. Depending on your needs, you may have access to outpatient services – either in-person or through telehealth – or inpatient PTSD treatment. Veterans who served in a combat area or experienced Military Sexual Trauma (MST) can also receive services at Vet Centers. To find out more about your treatment options, see VA PTSD Treatment Programs.
VA offers a wide array of services just for women and new ones continue to be developed. For the most up-to-date help locating a program or service, you can ask your Women Veterans Program Manager.
