At MBC, veterans are part of their own treatment team and work with providers to set recovery goals, develop treatment plans, set benchmarks, and monitor progress. The VA is deploying mobile medical units across the country to provide medical care and support to homeless and at-risk veterans. The BeThere peer assistance program, in partnership with Military OneSource, offers support to service members (including National Guard soldiers and reservists), their families, and transitioning veterans up to 365 days after their separation or retirement. To improve veterans' access to care, the VA is adding more rural and mobile clinics and collaborating with healthcare providers in smaller communities.

Eligible American Indian and Alaska Native veterans are no longer required to make co-payments for the medical care and urgent care they receive through the VA. VA is committed to supporting the health of the country's veterans and their families. If you need help finding behavioral health services and peer and family support in Virginia, contact the Virginia Veterans and Family Support Program at 877-285-1299 or 804-371-4675 (Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Measure-Based Care for Veterans

Measure-based care (MBC) provides veterans with the opportunity to actively participate in their mental health care. This approved and scientifically proven treatment course is conducted over defined periods of time and focuses on helping veterans meet their recovery and life goals.

The VA is also using cutting-edge technologies such as secure telephone or video mental health care, self-directed smartphone apps, and text-based assistance to provide care to veterans when they need it, wherever they are - even from the comfort of their homes. If you are not already using VA medical services, contact the nearest VA medical or veterinary center to discuss your needs.
