Are you a veteran who experienced MST?
No, not myself. I'm just asking.
Unfortunately, no relevant information is found.
I guess it is, but, Are these services privacy protected? i mean, are they anonymous?
Of course they are. The well being of the veteran is a top priority, so you can get confidential counseling on any support you need.
That sounds good, but can I still use this service even if I don't have a veterans primary care benefit, don't I need to provide any documents or something like that?
No, at all. You don't need any previous requirement to get access to this service. You can call for general information to the hotline at 800-827-1000 or get in contact with your local veteran medic center or the veteran PTSD program near to you.
What do you do for someone who goes through these VA services for MST and ends up on the streets?
They can contact the National Call center for Homeless veterans, 24/7. There, a trained VA counselor will offer information about homeless programs.
Could I ask a follow-up question for PTSD outpatients, as well as homeless programs? Is there help and resources available outside of VA?
You can also get support from resources offered by other government departments and community organizations outside of VA
um, that must be very useful. Say, how do I access VA services for MST? Let's imagine that this person who wants to access the program does not have a VA care provider, can he still access the program?
Well, in that case, the person should go for its nearest VA medical center and ask to speak to an MST coordinator.
Um, makes sense. And for getting access to all this, do the individual need something like a disability rating or being in other VA services or having reported the trauma?
