Minnesota: Mental health services for returning vets in short supply
November 3rd, 2007From the Minneapolis Star Tribune:
Minnesota lacks adequate mental health services for veterans returning from the war in Iraq and Afghanistan, especially outstate, a study authorized by the legislature concluded.
… “Our study … confirmed that local — and especially rural — services for veterans returning with mental issues including TBI and PSTD are primitive or non-existent; the most common direction given to those seeking help was to [go to a hospital] emergency room,” [the] report said.
