The AP (5/11, Morgan) reports the VA and veterans groups are preparing for a surge in veterans with mental health needs. The VA and its partners “have kept thousands of veterans in treatment during the coronavirus pandemic through telehealth appointments. But as job losses and increased social isolation take an extended toll, some veterans’ advocates worry the already understaffed VA medical facilities can’t keep up and that telehealth isn’t enough.”
