Veteran Support: Suicide Prevention Program for Servicemember Transition

Ensuring contact with a social worker or behavioral health coordinator from the Department of Veterans Affairs within 90 days of discharge.
Development of an individualized medical treatment plan for veterans based on an assessment of their service experiences.
The pilot program will run for five years at a minimum of 10 transition centers, with regular reports to Congress.
