Daniel J. Harvey Jr. and Adam Lambert Improving Servicemember Transition to Reduce Veteran Suicide Act

This bill establishes a 5-year pilot program to reduce veteran suicide by improving transition support for service members leaving the military. It requires the Defense and Veterans Affairs departments to provide a mandatory group module (covering suicide risk factors, resources, and firearm safety) and one-on-one counseling with VA social workers before discharge, including medical records transfer and referrals. The program will operate at 10+ military locations serving 300+ service members annually, with annual congressional reports assessing participation, activities, and outcomes. It directly affects service members transitioning to civilian life, particularly those at higher suicide risk, by connecting them to VA care and support services during a critical transition period.
