Within the Department of Veterans Affairs, the veterans centres, the folks who are doing the outreach for the Department of Veterans Affairs, have adopted the battlemind training framework as a way of de-stigmatizing mental health and a way to get service members who need help to come in and sort of feel comfortable that the Department of Veterans Affairs knows how to talk to service members about mental health issues.
One of the really big obstacles is that service members don't want to talk to somebody who can't relate to their military experience. One of the things that mental health professionals find useful themselves about battlemind training is that it talks about mental health in a way that service members, soldiers, can understand.
