Bill overview
This bill aims to improve access to mental health care for veterans experiencing crises by establishing a three-year pilot program. The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) will partner with Vet Centers and medical facilities to refer veterans to approved non-VA mental health providers within one week. The program’s effectiveness will be regularly evaluated and reported to Congress, with the goal of potentially expanding this system nationwide.
