Bill > HR3722

This bill, the Daniel J. Harvey, Jr. and Adam Lambert Improving Servicemember Transition to Reduce Veteran Suicide Act, aims to address mental health issues during the transition process for members of the Armed Forces leaving military service. The key provisions of the bill are: 1. Amending the Transition Assistance Program of the Department of Defense to require the provision of information on mental health services, treatment of mental health conditions associated with military service, suicide risk factors and prevention, and the potential effects of losing community and support systems after separation. 2. Amending the Solid Start program of the Department of Veterans Affairs to require assistance for veterans in enrolling in the VA healthcare system and education on mental health and counseling services available through the VA. 3. Requiring the Department of Defense and the Department of Veterans Affairs to jointly submit a report to Congress on the information and materials developed under the amendments made by this Act. The goal of these provisions is to help address the high rates of suicide among veterans by ensuring that servicemembers receive comprehensive mental health information and support during their transition to civilian life.
