VA Moves to Strengthen Suicide Prevention
Posted at 12:42 PM on Thursday, June 14, 2007 by Virginia A/Q
Nicholson: Move Bolsters Strong Mental Health Program
“Many veterans have paid a high price for their service to our nation and have earned world-class mental health care,” said Secretary of Veterans Affairs Jim Nicholson. “Every suicide is a tragedy that sends ripples of pain throughout families and communities. VA health care professionals are committed to provide timely, compassionate intervention, which might help prevent this needless suffering.”
The new suicide prevention counselors will join the 9,000 mental health professionals already employed by VA. The Department spends nearly $3 billion a year for mental health services. About 1 million VA patients have a mental health diagnosis.
