That group includes many veterans with prior diagnoses of post-traumatic stress disorder, depression or related challenges. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTo become a high-reliability provider of mental health care services, the VA needs to consistently and predictably provide readily accessible, high-quality mental health care at every facility for every veteran on every occasion,\u201d the report stated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Researchers gave high marks to VA for the care it provides, but said more work needs to be done to improve outreach to veterans in need and public awareness of resources available. They also found that younger veterans were more open to the idea of receiving mental health assistance through non-traditional methods, like internet-based services. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The second study, released by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0272735817301836\" title=\"\" class=\"\" target=\"_blank\">the Clinical Psychology Review<\/a>, said that public focus on serious mental health problems like PTSD may be obscuring the more widespread issue of \u201ctransition stress\u201d facing veterans as they leave the military. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Soldiers and veterans are undeniably resilient, both by selection and by training. But they are not superhuman,\u201d the report stated. \u201cThe process of transitioning and reintegrating back to civilian life is often stressful and can generate lasting psychological difficulties.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Researchers found that veterans\u2019 transition stress can include challenges such as confusion over their new role \u2014 \u201closs of the military self\u201d \u2014 in civilian life, unexpected isolation or grief, and anger over military stereotypes from new civilian co-workers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the stress may not be as debilitating or long-term as other well-known mental health challenges, the study noted that more research should be done on how common the problem is and ways to mitigate related challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">VA Secretary David Shulkin has repeatedly stated his top clinical priority for the department is suicide prevention, an issue that is closely tied to VA mental health care and research. Earlier this month, President Donald Trump signed a new executive order mandating better coordination of prevention efforts by VA, Department of Defense and Department of Homeland Security leaders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A pair of studies released this week say more research and mental health care is needed to ensure veterans are receiving adequate
