A new mental health program aimed at helping veterans and active-duty service members is seeing a high level of interest, and those running it expect that demand to grow over the coming years.
Community Care Network-Rutland Mental Health Services (CCN-RMHS) announced its Veteran Care Navigator program, aimed at veterans and active service members.
“As a state-designated Certified Community-Based integrated Health Center (CCBHC), Community Care Network is committed to providing equitable, accessible and comprehensive care to all members of our community,” stated Cindy Taylor-Patch, chief quality officer with Community Care Network. “Veterans, active-duty service members and their loved ones face unique and complex mental health and substance use challenges. The CCN-RMHS Veteran Care Navigator program was strategically developed by professionals who are deeply committed to honoring the service of Veterans and understanding the challenges they face. With compassion and respect, the program helps break down barriers to care and ensures Veterans don’t fall through gaps in the health care system.”
