Vets Test Mental Health Web Self-Screening

Jacqueline Froelich

More than 400 veterans participated in a mental health self-screening web portal pilot project, conducted by the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences and Central Arkansas Veterans Healthcare System in North Little Rock, in collaboration with an Iowa V.A. The project is sponsored by the Mental Health Quality Enhancement Research Initiative, a national research program funded by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. We visit the Veterans Health Care System of the Ozarks in Fayetteville to learn about critical mental health issues veterans may face, and also talk with a UAMS project facilitator.

Veterans in crisis may contact their local VA Medical Centers or Community Based Outpatient Clinics for help via this directory.

Jacqueline Froelich is an investigative reporter and news producer for Ozarks at Large.
