Free consultation for veterans who deserve mental health benefits and need advocacy
FRISCO, Texas - October 7, 2024 - Veteran Mental Health Assessment (VMHA) today announced that it has developed a mental health assessment process that enables U.S. veterans to receive the most appropriate benefits for their mental health conditions from the Veterans Administration (VA). VMHA's experienced psychologists provide proof that a veteran qualifies for mental health benefits.
The VMHA process allows psychologists to identify relevant mental health conditions and examples of impaired functioning, or "high-quality evidence," which refers to specific ways the veteran's life has been impacted (in areas such as social and occupational functioning), as well as symptoms the veteran is experiencing. At the end of each evaluation, VMHA provides resources to veterans, which may include a recommendation for therapy. It is up to the veteran and their therapist to figure out what type and length of therapy is appropriate.
VMHA documents the veteran's need for support, capturing their symptoms and providing examples of how they've been impacted by their experience in the military. VMHA will diagnose, if appropriate. Psychologists make a recommendation for their rating level, the level of support from the VA which goes from 0 to 100%. This documented evidence is required for veterans to qualify for the most appropriate level of compensation and support possible, when submitting mental health claims. Veterans dealing with PTSD, substance abuse, depression, and other mental health issues can be covered by offered benefits but may not be aware that they qualify or know how to apply for services.
"Are you receiving the VA mental health benefits you deserve?" asked Dwayne Edwards, founder of VMHA. "We offer help in understanding what your level of support from the VA should be. The most common diagnoses we see that veterans are coping with are depression, anxiety, substance abuse and PTSD."
Edwards explained, "Seeking mental health support can be difficult, and on top of that, the process of seeking benefits from the VA is challenging . It is our job to provide the most thorough and accurate recommendation for the level of benefits our veterans qualify for. We are especially sensitive to the epidemic of veterans taking their own lives. Suicide awareness is a critical issue for at-risk veterans. The U.S. is responsible for supporting the men and women who have served our country, and we support veterans getting all the help they need."
VMHA is committed to quality and thoroughness. This stands in contrast to many other providers in the space that are only seeking financial gain. According to Edwards, "The soul of our business is delivering a high-quality veteran centered experience that helps all of our veterans get the mental health benefits they deserve. Many of our veterans have shared previous experiences of being dismissed, feeling uncomfortable opening up, and being provided low quality evaluations. Feedback from our veterans says that when they come to us, they are given a safe space to share with a caring provider who provides everything they need to support their mental health claim."
"Many veterans are underrated for mental health, either due to an ineffective evaluation when they were first exiting the military or due to a U.S. veteran not feeling comfortable in sharing the level or severity of their symptoms. Because veterans are underrated, they do not receive the compensation and support they deserve. We are here to advocate for them and help them receive appropriate benefits."
VMHA was founded by experienced veteran, Dwayne Edwards and psychologist, Dr. Aquilla Edwards. The team brings a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by those who have served.
