Recognizing Community Organizations for Veteran Engagement and Recovery Act

Bill 119 hr 2283, also known as the "Veterans Mental Health Care Pilot Program Act," aims to address the mental health needs of veterans by directing the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to implement a pilot program. This program will provide grants to outpatient mental health facilities to offer culturally competent and evidence-based mental health care specifically tailored to veterans.

The goal of the pilot program is to improve access to high-quality mental health services for veterans, particularly those from diverse cultural backgrounds. By providing grants to outpatient facilities, the bill seeks to ensure that veterans receive the specialized care they need to address their mental health challenges.

In addition to providing grants for mental health services, the bill also includes provisions for monitoring and evaluating the effectiveness of the pilot program. This will help determine the impact of the program on veterans' mental health outcomes and inform future efforts to improve mental health care for veterans. Overall, Bill 119 hr 2283 aims to support veterans by expanding access to culturally competent and evidence-based mental health care services. By addressing the unique needs of veterans through this pilot program, the bill seeks to improve the overall mental health and well-being of those who have served our country.
