Take advantage of VA telemental health 

VA offers a variety of mental health treatment options for Veterans, including in-person care and telemental health services. For many Veterans, telemental health may be the best option for care. This includes telemental health services through VA or a local community provider. Ask your provider about telemental health – he/she can find out what options are available for you.

Message from Acting Under Secretary Stone: What getting the vaccine means 

Veterans: You getting the vaccine protects those around you, especially those who are unable to get the vaccine, or those particularly vulnerable to the terrible effects of COVID-19. Even if you are completely healthy, get the shot for those who are most vulnerable, and protect your community and the nation the way you did when you were in uniform.

Talk to your medical provider about getting vaccinated if you haven't already and spread the word to those in your communities that VA is here for them when they are ready to get the shot.
