This legislation mandates the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to establish a Task Force on Complementary and Integrative Health/Whole Health within 90 days of enactment. This task force will comprise a diverse group, including VA officials, academic researchers, clinicians specializing in veteran care, representatives from veterans service organizations, and experts from community-based programs. The Secretary of Veterans Affairs will chair this body, which aims to enhance the well-being of veterans. The task force's primary responsibilities include assessing current veteran access to complementary and integrative health therapies within VA facilities and developing a framework to determine the effectiveness of various treatments, such as acupuncture, yoga, and peer-supported programs, for conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder, traumatic brain injury, depression, anxiety, and suicide prevention . It will also identify gaps in research and implementation, determine how to integrate emerging therapies, and analyze factors contributing to treatment dropout. The task force is required to submit its recommendations to the Secretary within one year, followed by reports to Congress outlining these recommendations and a plan to address them, ultimately aiming to improve veterans' mental health outcomes.
