Supporting Veteran Mental Health
With Memorial Day approaching, the Massachusetts Senate took
a major step toward supporting veteran mental health on Thursday with the
adoption of State Senator Ryan Fattman's Amendment #1014: Veteran Mental Health
Pilot Program.
This amendment creates a pilot program for service members
to access mental health services and care through a telehealth platform that
features ease of access and confidentiality.
I was proud to co-sponsor this amendment, which was passed
unanimously by the Senate, and represents another chapter in Massachusetts'
long history of leadership and innovation on behalf of those who serve our
nation in the armed forces.
