Bill overview
The REACH for Veterans Act aims to improve the Veterans Crisis Line by strengthening its training and quality management processes. The bill requires the Department of Veterans Affairs to update training for call responders, establish guidelines for retraining and monitoring, and enhance responses to callers experiencing substance use or overdose risk. It also includes provisions for pilot programs to test new approaches like extended safety planning and crisis line facilitation, as well as research to assess the effectiveness of the crisis line and prepare for the transition to the 988 suicide and mental health hotline.
