Directs the VA to provide annual mental health consultations to veterans receiving compensation for mental health disabilities.
The VA Mental Health Outreach and Engagement Act amends title 38, United States Code, to require the Department of Veterans Affairs to offer annual mental health consultations to veterans receiving compensation for service-connected mental health disabilities. The consultations aim to assess the veteran's mental health needs and discuss available care options. The bill also mandates the Comptroller General to report on the number of veterans receiving these consultations and any barriers they face in seeking mental health services.
