Supporting Returning Veterans and Their Families Is a Priority

In a joint effort to support returning veterans, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), with the Department of Defense and Department of Veterans Affairs, is holding a national conference and policy academy built around enhancing mental health and substance abuse services for veterans and their families.

While the conference registration is closed because of overwhelming interest, SAMHSA offers a variety of support resources available for returning veterans and their families. Be sure to check out the latest materials offered, which can be ordered, free of charge, or downloaded and printed.
