Governor Newsom proclaims Veterans Day, highlights major investments in veteran mental health
What you need to know: California is recognizing Veterans Day with over $33 million in grants through the California Veterans Health Initiative (CVHI), 100,000 free mental health appointments for veterans, and the announcement of a new federal grant to study Native American veteran deaths by suicide and develop prevention methods to save lives.
Sacramento, California – Governor Gavin Newsom proclaimed tomorrow Veterans Day and highlighted major investments in veterans' mental health and further support for Native American veterans.
"California's veterans have dedicated their lives to protecting our country, and it is our duty – and our honor – to ensure that we provide for them and their families when they return home. These investments will help us expand access to and develop even more lifesaving supports for all our veterans."
Governor Gavin Newsom
"Focusing on veterans' mental health has always been a key priority at CalVet, and we're pleased to partner with community-based providers statewide to expand the reach and effectiveness of resources for veterans seeking no cost, accessible mental health services in their own communities. Additionally, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs grant enables CalVet to understand and integrate the cultural values, traditions and practices of Native American communities into our mental health services, and create resources that resonate with and empower Native American veterans and their families."

Veteran mental health
The California Department of Veterans Affairs (CalVet) has awarded $33.4 million in grants to community organizations in seven counties through the California Veterans Health Initiative, Mental Health Support Grant Program (CVHI-MHSGP). This funding will enable community-based organizations to expand access to outpatient mental health treatment options for California's veterans and their families. The grants are designed to increase veterans' access to mental health services, reduce patient wait times for appointments, and develop veteran-specific mental health care options.
In addition, the community-based providers awarded CVHI grants will use the funding to expand statewide telehealth and other accessible mental health services to veterans and their families. The grants will also work to increase California's mental health workforce specializing in the veteran population by providing training and clinical supervision to the next generation of mental health professionals.

Culturally informed suicide prevention services
Native Americans have the highest per-capita involvement of any population to serve in the U.S. military – at five times the national average – and comprise 10% of California's total veteran population. Yet the federal Department of Veterans Affairs' annual suicide prevention report saw the largest increase in suicide among Native veterans when looking at race and ethnicity.
To help address this ongoing crisis, CalVet announced that they have received a $300,000 grant through a U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs' Suicide Mortality Review (SMR) Cooperative Agreement to develop suicide prevention services specifically tailored to the cultural and historical needs of Native American communities.
The grant enables CalVet to form a committee comprised of tribal representatives, mental health professionals, and community stakeholders that will examine the unique challenges experienced by Native American veterans and to develop culturally informed policies, programs, and services that promote mental health awareness and suicide prevention within Native American communities across California.
Supporting our veterans
Governor Newsom signed a package of bills that will streamline and simplify procedures that support veterans and their families. These new laws now allow counties to refund improperly paid property taxes to disabled veterans and their surviving spouses, reduce the burden on military-connected pupils and their families by publicly recognizing and designating specific public schools as California Purple Star schools, and simplify income screenings, allowing more veterans to qualify for affordable housing.
Proposition 1, which was passed by California voters in March, includes massive investments to support veterans experiencing homelessness, mental health, and substance use disorder (SUD) by setting aside 50% of all funding for permanent supportive housing for veterans.
