Veteran peer coaches conduct outreach activities in the community to engage veterans who need mental health or substance abuse support. They can link them to preferred providers and services.
There are mixed reviews about the services at Gateway Healthcare. Some people mentioned there is a revolving door for workers and others mentioned the staff isn’t the nicest. Nevertheless, outside the center are supplementary care through rest and relaxation. The Johnston Indoor Recreation Center isn’t too far away, and there are parks nearby.
