It provides for informal, low- key psychological coun­ seling for Vietnam Era veterans who have had difficulty on reentering civilian life. All centers are to be housed away from established VA facilities in store fronts or other locations thought to be convenient to large numbers of veterans needing their services.

"If we find it is advisable, and the veteran requests it, we can supplement our own services with private psychological care or by admission to the VA's regular mental health program." The Chicago counseling center will be manned by a small team of experts specially trained to counsel Vietnam Era veterans and their families on problems ^ resulting from the veterans' service. In addition to in­ dividual. group and family counseling, team members will assist veterans in career and educational develob- liicnt. "Basically the program is a no-frills, low-key approach to helping that relatively small group of Vietnam Era veterans who have failed to get the help they need because they are turned off by bureaucratic red tape and long waiting lines," Cleland said. "We will be trying to give help to a bunch of veterans who. for many reasons, have not been able to put their Vietnam experiences behind them. They gave much and lost much in service t/i oUr nation. It is right that we should extend ourselves to help them help themselves."
