The SAMHSA-HRSA Center for Integrated Health Solutions (CIHS) developed this guide for primary and behavioral healthcare professionals  serving veterans and their families. 

Check our eSolutions article Our Opportunity to Serve Veterans,  which focuses on how integrated care providers can serve veterans and their families, containing a profile of a PBHCI grantee - Centerstone, 5 steps to serving veterans, featured resources, and more!

Also recently announced, the Department of Veterans Affairs, in collaboration with the Departments of Defense and Labor, will be integrating the National Resource Directory (NRD) into eBenefits to improve access to health care, benefits information and more.Veterans will be able to find enhanced self-service capabilities and resources from one site, improving access to information and assistance.

The NRD offers more than 15,000 resources that have met quality assurance criteria to ensure that every program and organization listed is acting in good faith and making a positive difference for wounded warriors, Service members, Veterans, their families members and caregivers. Every resource is checked prior to being listed and re-checked on an annual basis to ensure it is still compliant with the NRD Participation Policy.
