Bill overview
The VA Suicide Prevention Services Accountability Act directs the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to conduct two major reviews of the Department of Veterans Affairs’ (VA) efforts to prevent veteran suicide and improve mental healthcare. First, the GAO will assess how effectively the VA manages veterans at high risk for suicide, including the use of programs like REACH VET. Second, the GAO will conduct a comprehensive management review of the VA’s mental health and suicide prevention services, examining infrastructure, staffing, and coordination with other agencies and community partners. Finally, the bill requires a report on the VA’s efforts to integrate mental healthcare into primary care clinics and community-based care.
