OVERVIEW

We're Here for You!

  The US Army Reserve Psychological Health Program serves to enhance resilience and assist with recovery of US Army Reserve service members and their families through outreach, education and training, non-stigmatizing behavioral health screenings and referral resources. The Program provides support for psychological health concerns to ensure service members and their families are psychologically ready and resilient to carry out their mission. We connect geographically dispersed service members and their families with relevant resources within their community. The Psychological Health Program also serves to assist and empower US Army Reserve leaders in advocating, referring, monitoring and caring for Reserve service members. By empowering those who serve in the US Army Reserve as well as their families, we strengthen resiliency as well as readiness.
