 Veterans, your mental health is important for your overall well-being. In an acute suicidal crisis, there is help. The Compact Act allows any eligible veteran, whether enrolled in the VA health care system or not, to go immediately to a VA or non-VA health care facility for suicidal crisis care. The VA may cover costs for treatment, transportation, outpatient and inpatient care. If you're in crisis right now, call 988 and press 1. For general questions, contact a county veteran service officer or the VA.
