Lawmakers Push Mental Health Care for IRR -
A group of House lawmakers is
renewing an effort to give inactive reservists who have had at least one
deployment to Iraq or Afghanistan special access to mental health services.
11,000 Individual Ready Reserve (IRR) members and individual Mobilization
Augmentees would be affected. Because they are not members of active or
reserve units, they do not have the same access to mental health and suicide
prevention programs as other combat veterans, which is why the lawmakers are
pushing to expand the reach of military help. The call is intended to check
on the emotional, medical, psychological and financial status of IRR members
and to get them help for any problems. For more information, please go to;
