Veterans in crisis: dial 988 then press 1, text 838255, or chat at VeteransCrisisLine.net (24/7).

Georgia is home to approximately 630,000 veterans, and mental health support is one of the most important — and most underused — benefits available to them. Whether you're dealing with PTSD, depression, anxiety, substance use, or the stress of transitioning to civilian life, Georgia veterans have access to free and low-cost care through the VA, Vet Centers, and programs the state itself runs. In Georgia, the state's own 24/7 front door to mental health care — the Georgia Crisis & Access Line at 1-800-715-4225 — works alongside the Veterans Crisis Line, and GDVS field offices across the state help veterans get connected and get claims filed.

This guide explains every major mental health resource available to Georgia veterans — federal and state — including what each program covers, who qualifies, and exactly who to call first. If you are in crisis right now, call the Veterans Crisis Line: dial 988, then press 1, text 838255, or chat at VeteransCrisisLine.net. It's free, confidential, and available 24/7 — no VA enrollment required.
