FREE Mental Health Services in Volusia and Flagler Counties for

Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) and

Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) Veterans and their Family Members

SMA offers Individual, Family, and Group Mental Health Therapy for OEF/OIF Veterans and Families to be deployed, currently deployed, or returned with a military ID or a copy of your DD214.  Deployment after 9/11/01 with proof of activity OEF or OIF or a Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal listed on their DD214 is required for this FREE service.

War affects each person differently.  Emotional pain and sadness are common when a person has suffered major trauma or personal loss in a time of war.  It may take some service members and their families time to readjust.  The inability to effectively manage life during this period can create a great deal of stress, anxiety, frustration, and anger.  SMA will help the family Build Resilience to adapt to adversity, trauma, tragedy or other stressors.
