Mental Health Resources for Veterans_Know more Mental health is a critical element of overall well-being, particularly for those who have served in the military. Veterans experience unique mental health challenges as a result of their time in service. Knowing this, Worldv Vterans directs its efforts to deliver a full range of mental health resources crafted to specifically meet the needs of veterans of the military. This piece will introduce veterans to the support groups, wellness programs and VA mental health benefits that they can take advantage of to seek treatment and regain their lost sense of peace. For veterans, mental health care relies in large part on support groups. These groups allow veterans to recover through camaraderie and shared understanding. There’s no substitute, for service members, to conversations that are shaped by the experience of enduring service. World Veterans works with these organizations to arrange veteran support groups, a setting where service members can talk candidly about their struggles and triumphs. World Veterans also provides wellness programs to veterans, which are another important resource. These programs are designed to encompass veterans' holistic health, as they incorporate physical activity, nutrition, mindfulness, and stress management techniques into their recovery. Without them, veterans would not be striving to improve their overall quality of life alongside their mental health. World Veterans understands the importance of knowing and utilizing VA mental health benefits as well. The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) offers a comprehensive mental health benefit that provides accessible treatment to veterans. VA mental health benefits include counseling and therapy, medication management, and inpatient care. World Veterasns is working with private organizations to make mental health care available to all veterans, regardless of location, conflict era, or discharge status. Veterans can get this care at mobile health clinics, via telehealth services, and through community-based outpatient clinics. Rehabilitation services help round out the mental health resources for veterans from the VA. They are designed to help veterans reintegrate into civilian life, giving support such as in areas like employment, education, and community living. They are often beneficial in improving mental health outcomes for veterans long-term, as they provide the skills necessary to lead fulfilling lives beyond their time in service. By providing access to mental health resources and information on each of these
programs, World Veterans is ensuring that all veterans are able to utilize them. The organization is an advocate for veterans asking for help by letting them know it is available and what it is. Recognizing the profound sacrifices of veterans, World Veterans is calling on veterans of any era who need support mentally, with the goal of continued support and assistance that allows them to succeed both mentally and physically.
