Mental Health Month

Veterans and those who care about them are encouraged to learn about healing from Veterans who know because they’ve been there.

For Mental Health Month in May, VA encourages Veterans to take at least One Step Today from a list of 10 suggestions that have helped improve the well-being of many other Veterans.

VA’s Vocational Rehabilitation Service helps Veterans achieve and maintain meaningful employment. The Compensated Work Therapy program enables Veterans to find or return to work.

During Mental Health Month, we celebrate the many groundbreaking research and discoveries conducted by VA’s mental health professionals.

This Mental Health Month, pause to focus on your well-being. It’s always the right time to make your mental health a priority.

This Mental Health Month, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Office of Mental Health and Suicide Prevention is highlighting the many moments — big and small — that can make up a Veteran’s mental health recovery.

During Mental Health Month, VA highlighted Make the Connection's videos to demonstrate how mental health treatment can have a significant impact on a person’s quality of life.

“We want all Veterans to know that they have the power to write the rest of their story. They decide where they go from here...VA is here to help.”

Every day, Veterans prove that mental health means building a stronger you.
