A New Bill Passed Allows the VA to Expand Their Mental Health Services via Teleheath
The Commander John Scott Hannon Veterans Mental Health Care Improvement Act (S 785) has been passed in the House and Senate. This bill will allow the Department of Veteran Affairs to expand their mental health services through telehealth. It will specifically work with veterans who are in the midst of a mental health crisis. This important service hopes to continue to support veterans and prevent suicide which claims the lives of 20 veterans a day.
