Online Free Mental Health Screening for Returning Vets & Families
Dear Colleague,
We were so pleased to join you as participants at SAMHSA's Returning Veterans conference last week. As your partner in serving our nation's service members and veterans, we are writing to alert you of a new Department of Defense (DoD) sponsored online mental health screening and referral program for families and service members/veterans affected by deployment or mobilization. As you may know, (if you visited our conference exhibit or presentation) Screening for Mental Health, Inc. has been contracted by the DoD Office of Health Affairs to provide this program of free and anonymous mental health and alcohol screening with referrals to services provided through the DoD and Veterans Affairs. It is available to every branch of the military including National Guard and Reserve units. The new "Mental Health Self-Assessment Program" launched at the end of January. Your service members/veterans and families can access it at: Military Mental Health.
Please help us reach as many service members/veterans and their families as possible by sharing this link through your website, email listservs and newsletters. You can download articles, emails and other materials to promote this link at: Mental Health Screening. Simply click on "Materials to Publicize the Online Screening Program."
Thank you so much for notifying your service members/veterans and families about this valuable service. Please contact either of us with any questions or if we can be of help in any way.
Sincerely,
Barbara S. Kopans, Executive Director
