Minnesota Announces Mental Health Program

The Minnesota National Guard has been selected to be a part of a TriWest Healthcare Alliance pilot program that will provide on-site mental health consultation, education and referral at no cost to soldiers. Licensed mental health professionals will be stationed in 22 Minnesota Army National Guard armories around the state to further support the 2,600 men and women who have recently returned from a 22-month Operation Iraqi Freedom deployment. Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty also recently introduced LinkVet -- the Veterans Linkage Line for Minnesota veterans and their family members. The toll-free customer service line is the first of its kind in the nation and provides information referrals, immediate crisis intervention and psychological counseling 24 hours a day, seven days a week at 1-888-LINKVET (546-5838).
