Petition To ensure that Veterans are fast tracked for mental health care and services
More details
It is thought around 4% of military veterans suffer some kind of mental health crisis, as a result of serving. Post traumatic stress disorder been one of the main mental health issues. At present there no adequate mental health provisions To ensure that Veterans are fast tracked for mental health care and services many veterans fail to get the care they need when they need it most. We urge the Chief of the Defence Staff to look at the provisions and to ensure that Veterans are fast tracked for mental health care and service as at present the military covenant is not been honoured.
