Mental Health Groups Aid Troops

Week of November 17, 2008

Four major U.S. mental health groups have joined the network of professionals who donate an hour of their time each week to provide free mental health services to servicemembers and their families. The American Association of Pastoral Counselors, American Psychiatric Association, American Psychological Association and the National Association of Social Workers are now part of the "Give an Hour" nonprofit group. Give an Hour now has nearly 3,000 licensed mental health professionals in its network, covering all 50 states, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico. For more information, visit the Give an Hour website.
