Beltran said he is happy to provide a tour of the Veteran Center for any interested parties that would like to refer SMVF to them or would like to take advantage of services for themselves.

About the Veteran Peer Center The Tropical Veterans Peers Centers in Weslaco, Harlingen, and Brownsville are facilities that offer several service amenities including showers, a computer lab, kitchen and food pantry, a laundry room with washer and dryer, a common area for service members, Veterans and military family members. At the facility they can watch tv, study, or socialize with other military peers. There is also a mental health objective of providing professional and peer counseling for individual therapy and group activities. Several suicide prevention trainings are scheduled every month, including a calendar that reflects scheduled holiday luncheons, craft activities, and several donation drives for the homeless Veterans as well as for military brats and families in need. These services are paid for by Tropical and the Texas Veterans Commission. If they do not have what the Veteran needs, they will act as a referral system to ensure they can send the Veteran and his family into the community where they may find the benefit or resource they want to receive.
