The Challenge
Welcome Back Veterans (WBV), with the
backing of Major League Baseball Charities and the Robert R. McCormick Foundation, was launched in 2008 to support more than 2 million Iraq and
Afghanistan veterans and their families across the United States. The
initiative, in its most recent funding, has assisted six academic
medical centers' efforts to expand access to high-quality mental health
care for veterans and their families. Significant numbers of returning
service personnel suffer from posttraumatic stress, anxiety, trauma, and
traumatic brain injury. Mental health care is critical for them and
their families to reintegrate into their communities.
WBV Successes
Through their collective efforts, RAND research shows, initiative partners have:- Provided clinical services (screening, referral, and treatment) to more than 3,600 individuals with military and veteran affiliations
- Networked with 188 organizations
- Conducted 228 training sessions or workshops to build new skills and capacities among veterans, organizations that serve them, and community-based providers.
