House Committee Passes Bill to Address Veterans’ Mental Health

On September 17, the House Veterans Affairs Committee passed, by voice vote, several bills en bloc, including the Female Veterans Suicide Prevention Act (H.R. 2915).

Sponsored by Rep. Julia Brownley (D-CA), the legislation would direct the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to pinpoint VA mental health care and suicide prevention programs that are most effective for, and have the highest rates of satisfaction among, women veterans.
