TAKE ACTION

Add Your Name to the Open Letter.

A new bill to improve care for female veterans and military families has just been introduced in Congress, but lawmakers need to hear from you.

The bill includes three of IAVA's top priorities for this year:

a package of improvements for female veterans, including more training for mental health providers in treating sexual trauma
a pilot program to offer child care so that veterans who have children find it easier to make VA appointments
a trial counseling program in which newly-separated female veterans would be treated in retreat-like settings

Show your support for this important legislation -- sign the open letter asking Congress to pass S. 1963, the Caregivers and Veterans Omnibus Health Services Act.

I stand with Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA) and the community of Veteran Services Organizations in calling on you to help pass the Caregivers and Veterans Omnibus Health Services Act of 2009 (S 1963).

The bill includes three of IAVA's top priorities for this year: a package of improvements for female veterans, including more training for mental health providers in treating sexual trauma, a pilot program to offer child care so that veterans who have children find it easier to make VA appointments, and a trial counseling program in which newly-separated female veterans would be treated in retreat-like settings.

Please stand with IAVA, and all of our nation’s veterans, and help bring this bill to a vote as soon as possible.

Thank you.
