County approves two‑year license for local veteran readjustment counseling; services to be offered Thursdays
Summary
The LaPorte County Board of Commissioners approved a two‑year license agreement to allow local veteran readjustment counseling to be provided from county office space, with weekly hours Thursdays, 9 a.m.–3 p.m.
Shauna Snapp and a colleague identified as William presented a proposal for in‑county veteran readjustment counseling at the Oct. 1 LaPorte County commissioners meeting. They described services including individual, couples, family and bereavement counseling for veterans, active service members and gold star families, and said they also offer group sessions.
The presenters said they prefer an initial intake visit at their primary office (in South Bend) but will accommodate in‑county intake where necessary. They told the board that in‑county service hours will be Thursdays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.; sessions generally last about an hour but may run longer depending on client needs. The board approved a two‑year license agreement for office space and encouraged coordination with the county veteran service officer for referrals.
The motion to approve the license agreement passed by voice vote. The transcript indicates the county veteran service officer (referred to as Guy) reviewed the contract and that the commission supported the arrangement.
