Our residents often encounter mental health issues including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), substance abuse, family problems, etc. Referrals for mental health issues are made to Veterans Affairs Medical Centers located in Maryland, Pennsylvania, Delaware and West Virginia. The information and referral process of MCVET ensures that its residents receive quality care for these problems. All residents have access to health care services. A Vision Care clinic is located on-site to provide services for MCVET's residents. Physical health problems of a more serious nature are referred to and treated at the local Veterans Affairs Medical Centers or through private physicians obtained by the residents.

The Education, Training, and Employment (ETE) program's goal is to involve the residents of MCVET in higher education or skilled training programs that will enable them to secure first-rate employment and higher paying salaries. The first phase of the ETE program is assessment. Assessments are done in two parts. The first part is conducted with a group of peers while the resident is still in the Emergency Shelter Program. The second part is completed after the individual's case manager makes the referral to ETE. After a resident is enrolled into a training program, the ETE program coordinator tracks his performance until the completion of his program. The individual will then be referred to employment services.

The employment service component of ETE is structured in partnership with Department of Labor, Licensing, and Regulations (DLLR). This comprehensive program includes intensive job development, job search, labor market information, assisted placement, job workshops, resume preparation, and interview skills training.
