New Help For Veterans With Mental Health Issues

[dere'k ™]

The Coaching Into Care Program offers the family and friends of Veterans free, confidential help in finding appropriate mental health care and motivating their Veteran who needs help to get help.

In the United States, there is still a stigma attached to having mental health problems and veterans, the majority of whom are men, are often reluctant to let anyone know about any problems they are facing.

Common problems, especially among combat veterans include post-traumatic stress and depression. It’s almost always the family who notices these issues first and the Coaching Into Care Program offers useful tips on how to begin the conversation with a Veteran. People who call should expect to be on the phone for up to a half an hour.

Family members and friends of veterans who obviously were facing difficult issues can call 888-823-7458 toll free for assistance in trying to encourage their Veteran to seek mental health care.

Again, the call is confidential and your veteran will not be forced into any program. however, if the VA representative feels a veteran is posing an immediate danger to his or herself or their family, the VA will notify the appropriate local officials.

tama, yung iba kasi pinapabayaan nalang nila yung mga matatanda, lalo na kapag nagiging makulit na sila, minsan sinasaktan pa eh

Agree.. they dont realize na gaano sila nagpakahirap para buhayin sila. Nakakaawa talaga lalo na ang matatanda na napapabayaan.

mahirap talagang i-deal ang mental illness, kaya hanggat maaga kailangang ipagamot kasi the more na hindi ito nabibigyan ng lunas the more na lumala ito.....
