Veterans
The need for more robust mental health care is acute worldwide. One specific client population that is currently underserved is that of American veterans of foreign wars.

Yet there is only one Veteran's Affairs health care facility available to all 100,000-plus individuals qualifying for care in the state of Hawaii. This deficiency is deplorable in a country that purports to value its veterans and the services they provide to promote the freedom, justice, and values of the United States of America. Hawaii is a microcosm of the rest of the country: which is doing too little to help its most precious citizens. This group project consists of a multifaceted plan to prevent and treat mental health disorders among the American veteran community.

The stigma against mental illness remains one of the most significant impediments to availability of quality care for veterans. Therefore, a comprehensive public service and education campaign would be helpful in improving mental health care services for veterans in Hawaii and nationwide. Removing stigma against mental illness might encourage more veterans to seek health care services, and would also prompt coworkers and family members to raise the issue to their veteran friends and family.

Moreover, spouses with mental health disorders present unique issues and questions for treatment. Returning soldiers may find that they

1. Veteran Health Needs Returning veterans and their families need early identification and treatment, as well as continuity of care. Early identification of mental health issues is critical, but needs to take place within a veterans’ healthcare system responsive to and understanding of the issues that arise during and after deployment.

Conscription This study makes assumptions that the proposed sample comprises of young Americans. The study further assumes that this segment of the country's population, which is vulnerable, is the target of conscription.
