Bill overview
This bill, the Veterans’ Culturally Competent Care Act, aims to improve the quality of mental health care provided to veterans through the Department of Veterans Affairs’ Community Care Program. It requires the VA to establish standards for non-VA mental health providers that match those for VA employees and mandates specific training courses on military culture, suicide prevention, PTSD, traumatic brain injury, and military sexual trauma. The bill also directs the VA to identify and develop additional training areas to meet the evolving needs of veterans.
