Clinical programs and consultation

The Clinical Core translates and disseminates post-deployment mental health research and evaluates treatment and services to improve care for Veterans. It collaborates with VA national programs on training, data access, and evidence-based interventions—including PTSD, suicide prevention and substance use disorders—while advancing group therapy, family-focused care, and integrative mental health initiatives. This work supports high-priority Veteran mental health needs and drives innovation across VA.
