Changes in status, relocation or return to civilian life are common transitions in the military. If you’re a service member receiving psychological health treatment, those transitions may be more of a challenge for you. You might find yourself wondering, “How do I continue with my treatment? What support services are available as I transition? Who can I turn to in an emergency?”
The inTransition Program can help answer these and many other questions. Join us Aug. 19, from 2:30 – 3 p.m. (CT) for free, web-based training on inTransition. The webinar is intended for military health care professionals, but service members interested in learning about the program can join too.
inTransition is a collaboration between the Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs to bridge the potential gaps in behavioral health support during transitional periods—gaps that can lead to service members’ disengagement from treatment or deterioration of their health status.
Enrollment into the program can be initiated by the service member or through referral from a service member’s current provider or case manager. All it takes is one phone call to 800-424-7877.
