Mental Health Crisis with Telehealth

➢ "One in every four active-duty members of the
United States military exhibit symptoms of mental
illness, which are mostly the manifestation of
posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression,
traumatic brain injury (TBI), and/or transition
stress.”

The VA Battles America’s Veteran
Mental Health Crisis with Telehealth
February 13, 2019
➢ “It is an inescapable fact: serving in the armed
forces and returning to civilian life afterwards is
difficult. Transition stress encompasses all of
the pressures that veterans face when
transitioning back into civilian life, which can
also trigger mental health consequences.”
The VA Battles America's Veteran Mental Health Crisis With Telehealth - NeuroFlow
10
The VA Battles America’s Veteran
Mental Health Crisis with Telehealth
February 13, 2019
➢ “The extreme physical and mental duress that
the men and women serving in the U.S. Military
experience, both while serving and while
transitioning back to civilian life, can trigger and
exacerbate mental health issues. The risk for
suicide was 22% higher amongst veterans than it
was non-veteran civilians.”

The VA Battles America’s Veteran
Mental Health Crisis with Telehealth
February 13, 2019
➢ “The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs’ (VA)
mental health report from June 2018 provides
evidence that the suicide rate amongst veterans
has grown by 25.9% from 2005 to 2015.”
➢ “In fact, veterans are one and a half times more
likely to take their own life than nonveterans.”

“We face a deficit that is that’s larger than our budget,
and that is a deficit of understanding between those of
us who serve in uniform and our fellow citizens.”

• Authorizes access to walk-in community clinics
for enrolled veterans who have previously used
VA healthcare services in the last two years.
• Authorizes local provider agreements to
remove bureaucratic red tape and to meet
veteran’s needs in the community.
• Creates standards of timely payment to
community care providers.

Balancing Demand and Supply for Veterans' Health Care | RAND
Despite the shrinking population of
veterans, the number of veterans who
use VA for healthcare will increase
until 2019.
16
The US is amid the largest military
demobilization in its history. Projections
suggest that 300,000 are returning with
symptoms of PTSD or major depression;
320,000 have been exposed to probable
TBIs; and hundreds of thousands are
dealing with psychological effects of
physical injuries.
The Pew Research Center reports that 44% of veterans
from current wars are describing their adjustment to
civilian life as “difficult,” and many of them are, and
will be, returning to civilian mental health and primary
care clinicians for assistance.

“Because we know that private-sector providers can be more
effective in treating military consumers if they understand the
military culture, combat experience, and challenges of
deployment, SAMHSA encourages civilian mental health
practitioners to become certified TRICARE providers.”
Credentialing information and details on participating in the
TRICARE network are available through the SAMHSA
Technical Assistance Packet for Becoming a TRICARE Provider.

5. General Observations
➢ Nonhomogeneous: each branch and
each service member is unique.
➢ Families: soldiers are recruited, but
families are enlisted. (Moore, 2012, p. 7)
➢ Hierarchy: significance of leadership
➢ Mission: priority over everything else
➢ Values: each branch has its own core
values
25
5. General Observations
➢ Shared Oath Allegiance
“I, [name], do solemnly swear (or affirm) that
I will support and defend the Constitution of
the United States against all enemies, foreign
and domestic; that I will bear true faith and
allegiance to the same; that I take this
obligation freely, without any mental
reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I
will well and faithfully discharge the duties of
the office on which I am about to enter.
