Connecting Veterans, Military Personnel, and Families to Mental Health Resources

Description: In 2005, the U.S. Congress established the National Demonstration Program for Citizen-Soldier Support (CSSP). Citizen soldier families and veterans face numerous personal and family life challenges that severely tax their resources. Maintaining and achieving good mental health is vital for these individuals.
