  • A U.S. Congressman from North Carolina is introducing a bill that could change the way veterans' mental health is treated.

A new bill introduced in North Carolina aims to address the high rate of veteran suicides by implementing policies to improve mental health care access for veterans. The bill, supported by both Republican and Democratic lawmakers, proposes the creation of a task force to study and recommend solutions for reducing veteran suicides, including better coordination between state and federal agencies, increased funding for mental health services, and the establishment of a statewide veterans' mental health hotline. The legislation comes in response to alarming statistics showing that North Carolina has one of the highest rates of veteran suicides in the country, with an average of two veterans taking their own lives each week.
