Daniel J. Harvey Jr. and Adam Lambert Improving Servicemember Transition to Reduce Veteran Suicide Act
Summary
This bill establishes a five-year pilot program between the Department of Defense and the Department of Veterans Affairs designed to improve the transition process for service members returning to civilian life. The program focuses on mental health by providing specialized counseling and resources during the pre-separation period to help identify and support those at higher risk for suicide. By integrating these services into the standard discharge process, the legislation aims to ensure that new veterans have immediate access to a support network and mental health tools as they navigate the stresses of reintegration.
