Lets veterans enrolled in VA health care get mental health information after trauma
This bill would let veterans enrolled in VA health care who have experienced traumatic or highly stressful events choose to receive mental health information and resources from the Department of Veterans Affairs. It would create a new outreach system to connect these veterans with the care services available to them. The VA would also seek to coordinate this outreach with the Department of Defense's Transition Assistance Program.
Today, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is not specifically required to create a system to reach out to veterans about mental health care after they experience traumatic events. If this bill becomes law, the VA would be directed to establish such a system. This would allow veterans who have experienced highly stressful events and are enrolled in VA care to choose to receive information and resources about mental health services directly from the VA.
