[QUOTE="SMS, post: 2015830, member: 42"] 1) More outreach. The "Vet Centers" (separate from the VA hospitals) are good but there aren't enough of them and a lot of folks don't know they exist. 2) More community/public awareness campaigns...so friends, family, co-workers and vets themselves can be made aware of resources. 3) Expanded use of "Veteran's Courts". Similar to other special, alternative, courts already in existance (Drug Court, Mental Health Court, DUI Court, Domestic Violence Court etc...) where confirmed veterans with validated mental health issues can work through the legal system in an environment that has more of an understanding of circumstances/situation/aggravating factors. It's not a "free ride" just because they are vets...but a system that looks for more than just a conviction and jail time. [/QUOTE]
