Locating Health Care in Your State
Most communities have military health, psychological health, family support and other services for warriors and their families. Whether you are a veteran, active duty service member, member of the National Guard or reservist, locating these services or even knowing which services to look for can be challenging.
The table below is designed to help service members and veterans find available national, state and local resources that can address traumatic brain injury (TBI) and psychological health (PH) care needs.
Active Duty, National Guard and Reserve
Psychological health resources for active duty warriors can be accessed through your primary care physician or your base/installation medical facility through TRICARE. Citizen warriors who are not activated or mobilized should utilize their primary care physicians for referral to psychological health professionals services through TRICARE. Additionally, there are federal, state and local resources available to address your psychological health care needs. Reserve and National Guard members may be eligible for VA benefits under certain conditions. View the brochure "A Summary of Benefits for National Guard and Reserve Personnel" available from the VA.
