We are doing our service men and women a great disservice with the current mental health treatment that is available to them. Treatment must begin at the time of enlistment, continue through active duty and follow veterans beyond their service. This petition calls for a reorganization and re-imagining of mental health treatment as provided by Veterans Affairs. This petition calls for services that are individualized and encompass the family and community. This petition calls for hiring or contracting more masters level counselors trained to treat PTSD and trauma as well as conduct family counseling. We must provide more psychoeducation related to mental health; destigmatizing it. We owe it to our service men and women to provide excellent care and treatment.
