Daniel J. Harvey, Jr. and Adam Lambert Improving Servicemember Transition to Reduce Veteran Suicide Act
This bill requires the Department of Defense's Transition Assistance Program (TAP) and the Department of Veterans Affairs' Solid Start Program to provide servicemembers and veterans with specific, standardized mental health information during their transition from military to civilian life. It mandates inclusion of details on suicide risk factors (like depression, homelessness, and relationship strain), PTSD treatment options, substance abuse resources, and the impact of losing military support networks. Both programs must cover these topics in their counseling materials, directly affecting active-duty service members separating from the military and newly enrolled veterans. The bill also requires the Defense and Veterans Affairs Secretaries to jointly report to Congress within one year on the implementation of these changes.
