What it does
The What Works for Preventing Veteran Suicide Act would amend title 38 of the United States Code to require the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to establish standard practices for VA grant or pilot programs focused on suicide prevention or mental health. These practices would require clear objectives, data collection and analysis plans, communication with relevant entities, program evaluations, and sharing of results. The regulations must be issued within 180 days of enactment and apply to all such programs regardless of when they were established. The bill affects the Veterans Health Administration and entities involved in VA-funded suicide prevention or mental health initiatives.
