BRAVE Act

This legislation mandates the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to establish a new patient outreach system specifically for mental health care. This system is designed for veterans who are enrolled in the VA's annual patient enrollment system and have experienced a traumatic or highly stressful event. These eligible veterans will have the option to elect to receive vital information regarding mental health and the various care services available to them through the VA. In administering this new outreach system, the Secretary is directed to seek coordination with the Department of Defense's Transition Assistance Program . This collaborative effort aims to ensure a seamless transition and access to mental health resources for veterans. The bill sets a clear deadline, requiring the Secretary to establish this comprehensive patient outreach system within two years of the Act's enactment.
