Creates a public list of community care providers trained to prevent veteran suicide.
This bill would create a public list of community care providers who have completed special training on preventing veteran suicide. The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) would offer this training and maintain the list. This would help veterans find healthcare providers better equipped to support them.
Today, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) does not mandate or offer annual, evidence-based suicide prevention training for community care providers, nor does it maintain a publicly available list of such providers who have completed relevant training. If this bill becomes law, the VA would establish and make available annual, evidence-based suicide prevention training for community care providers. It would also create a publicly accessible "preferred provider list" of those who complete the training or substantially similar training, helping veterans find specialized care.
