Older Veteran Behavioral Health Resource Inventory: New VA Resource Aims to Address Unique Needs of Veterans

The Older Veteran Behavioral Health Resource Inventory provides an overview of resources for health and social service professionals interested in enhancing their outreach and support for older veterans who have or are at risk for behavioral health conditions. 

The inventory, as well as other useful resources for professionals working with veterans, are available through the VA Community Provider Toolkit.

• Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS)
• Office of Minority Health (OMH)
