When transitions including deployment or permanent change of station occur, it’s important that our nation’s service members and veterans have the right support systems in place. If you’re currently receiving mental health treatment and are also going through a military transition, get connected with the inTransition program to help make the transition to a new health care system or provider easier. Start by checking out inTransition’s newly-released public service announcements (PSAs) – they educate warriors, family members and health care providers about the program’s coaching services and benefits.
Whether you’re a service member, family member or health care provider, each announcement addresses your specific needs and how inTransition helps meet them:
- Maze: Explains how service members and veterans can navigate the switch to a new mental health care provider when experiencing a change in status
- Insights-Providers: Addresses the important role of health care providers as they help those transitioning maintain continuity of care through the transition period
- Insights-Family Members: Provides the family member perspective on how inTransition helped their loved ones maintain their mental health care treatment while transitioning
You can view and download these videos and others here. To learn more about the inTransition program’s coaching services, please visit intransition.dcoe.mil or call their confidential, toll-free number at 800-424-7877 for 24/7 assistance.
