Referred to the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs.
This bill directs the Department of Veterans Affairs to create a public list of healthcare providers who have completed annual training on suicide prevention for veterans. Within 180 days of enactment, the VA must make this training available to all covered providers, which includes VA doctors, community care providers, and medical professionals in the VA's network. Providers who complete the training will be added to a "preferred provider list" that veterans can access when choosing their healthcare providers, and the VA will review and update this list annually. The bill also requires the VA to submit reports to Congress every year detailing how many providers have completed the training, how many veterans are using these trained providers, and whether the list should be improved to better serve veterans. This legislation aims to expand access to suicide prevention training and help veterans find qualified mental health professionals.
