“When you have a hammer, everything looks like a nail”
A mental health care program is designed to create a toolbox of actionable and consistent systems of support for veterans around their mental well-being. This is achieved by putting in place people like psychologists and counsellors, social workers, and various online services to act as tools for veterans to develop healthy coping mechanisms.
Accessing mental health programs is vital to helping veterans process and come to terms with their lives post-military service. These programs are far from crisis intervention and are designed to be an adjunct to crisis care. Staying healthy is a daily practice that requires meaningful work to be undertaken, and with the support and guidance of mental health, professionals veterans will create strategies to better support themselves, their families and their community.

When a veteran is onboarded to a Mental Health Care Program, the veteran will talk to a psychologist who will take a comprehensive medical history. They will ask questions as a way to ascertain the current mental health challenges being faced and how those challenges are impacting the veteran.
Once the health history is taken, the psychologist will simply start by asking questions and getting to know the veteran and taking time to understand their current situation. The psychologist and the veteran will formulate a plan for ongoing care and treatment.
As part of the treatment program, the veteran may get access to online platforms like meditation apps or mindfulness platforms. This is designed to increase the number of assistive tools at the disposal of the veteran and complement their psychology sessions.
