The stigma surrounding mental health all too often acts as a barrier to military and veteran populations from seeking out and utilizing mental health services. In New Hampshire, according to the New Hampshire Commission on PTSD & TBI, stigma was identified by NH Veterans as the primary barrier to accessing healthcare.
This petition supports the health and well being to service men and women of the United States Military. Mental health care is a vital competent to overall health and well being. Please sign this petition to help destigmatize mental health services and to make these services broader and more accessible to our active and retired military members and their families.

* S. 785 - Commander John Scott Hannon Veterans Mental Health Care Improvement Act of 2019
