Essential Resources for Nevada Veterans

3 min readNov 20, 2023

Many United States Veterans face unique challenges that can be hard to overcome. It can be difficult to transition to civilian life and to manage post-service challenges like PTSD, a physical injury, or addiction. Nevada has many resources and programs to help our current and past service members live happier lives and see a brighter future.

Nevada Department of Veteran Services

The Department of Veteran Services in Nevada helps connect veterans to resources to help improve their lives with programs that help submit benefits claims, access nursing services, plan a military burial, and transition to civilian life. This department serves Veterans, active-duty military members, the National Guard and Reserve, and the families and survivors of the above.
