When we encounter a veteran who has very serious mental illness, we consult with Veterans Affairs and try to bring in mental health care providers. Again, that goes way beyond what we have the capability to do. We aren't medical professionals. We aren't health care providers, so we cannot diagnose that person, but we will try to bring in the resources and the people who can help that person. Not that long ago, one of our volunteers sat with a veteran in the ER for 36 hours to make sure he received mental health care.
