Dept. of Veterans Affairs: Awards more than $474000 in veterans … – WisPolitics.com

MADISONThe Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs (WDVA) today announced 7 organizations are receiving $474,407 from two Veteran Mental Health grant programs that will directly subsidize mental health care for Wisconsin veterans. These grants are part of Governor Tony Evers$10 million investment in veteran services, funded through the American Rescue Plan Act.

Veterans stood up to protect our safety and security, now its time to stand up for them, said WDVA Secretary-designee James Bond. Im so grateful to these grant recipients for providing vital services in their community. Mental health care is vital for former service members. We need to work together to make sure veterans can access all the health care they need in their civilian life, and we couldnt do that without community partners across Wisconsin.

The first program will directly offset the costs for individual veterans receiving emergency and crisis mental health treatment. The second program will fund ancillary mental health treatment for long-term and complementary treatments.
