Behavioral Healthcare for Veterans
Studies show that demand for behavioral health services from veterans of post-9/11 military deployments and their immediate families will grow dramatically. Governor Kaine’s Executive Order 19 (2006) calls on each agency to identify opportunities for improving services and addressing the continuum of care needs of disabled veterans. There is currently an active partnership between the Virginia Department of Veterans Services, the Virginia Department of Mental Health, Mental Retardation and Substance Abuse Services and the Commonwealth’s community service boards to improve access by Virginia’s veterans to behavioral health services and supports and plan for the expected increase in demand for services in Virginia’s mental health system.
The Commonwealth will not let these citizens down, will pursue adequate resources to make this happen and will get all those identified the status and support that they deserve.
