Our Veterans Justice Outreach Partnership is a unique program that gets Veterans the treatment they need as an alternative to incarceration. Working together with local courts, we connect Veterans with resources to help them combat the problems at the root of their legal troubles. Each of our medical centers has a staff member dedicated to working with Veterans involved with the justice system. We also offer TeleMental health services for Veterans who live a distance away from a medical center or a clinic, or who find it difficult to get to one of our facilities. If you are a Veteran with concerns about your mental health, please contact the VA or visit one of our medical centers or outpatient clinics soon. Remember it takes the strength and courage of a warrior to ask for help! |
