Introduced Text

New Jersey A4171 mandates a study on the outcomes and efficacy of the veteran to veteran peer support helpline.

New Jersey A4171 requires the Department of Veterans Affairs to conduct a two-year study on the outcomes and efficacy of the veteran to veteran peer support helpline. The study will assess the helpline's effectiveness in leading veterans to sustained mental health regimens, its visibility, and its role within the department's mental health care services. It will also evaluate whether sustained mental health care affects suicidality and if veterans use the helpline in times of crisis. The study will be based on an analysis of national suicide data and data collected from the helpline.
