Returning Veterans and Behavioral Health |
|
Returning veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan face many challenges when they return home-including substance abuse and mental health issues. To help, SAMHSA recently cosponsored a second returning veterans behavioral health conference. Substance abuse counselors, mental health treatment providers, advocacy and community-based organizations, and veterans' families participated in sessions on suicide prevention, jobs, homelessness, understanding traumatic brain injury, and other topics. SAMHSA and the Department of Health and Human Services collaborated with the Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs to cosponsor the 2008 conference. |
