A new bill to improve care for female veterans and military families has just been introduced in Congress, but lawmakers need to hear from you.
The bill includes three of IAVA's top priorities for this year:
- a package of improvements for female veterans, including more training for mental health providers in treating sexual trauma
- a pilot program to offer child care so that veterans who have children find it easier to make VA appointments
- a trial counseling program in which newly-separated female veterans would be treated in retreat-like settings
