In celebration of Mental Health Month and Older Americans Month:

I am pleased to let you know that the 2020 update of the Older Veteran Behavioral Health Resource Inventory is now posted here: https://www.mentalhealth.va.gov/communityproviders/docs/Older_Veteran_Behavioral_Health_Resource_Inventory_050418.pdf

This inventory is a collaborative initiative of the interagency partnership on mental health and aging Veterans.

It has links to resources on VA benefits, PTSD, substance use disorders, pain management, suicide prevention, health promotion and disease prevention, long term services and supports, and much more, as relevant to older adults/Veterans.

Thank you,

Michele
