Efforts to minimize the risk for and severity of mental illness among veterans involve careful prevention, detection, and intervention procedures with a recognition of specific vulnerabilities within the veteran community. Prevention efforts include screening out prospective service men and women with documented serious mental illness or substance abuse problems as a method of minimizing exposure of high-risk individuals to service-related stress or injury that could exacerbate symptomatology or result in symptom relapse among remitted individuals. Additionally, many veterans are now expected to participate in reintegration training programs following deployment and prior to resuming civilian life. These short-term programs involve presentation of psychoeducational material, coping skills, and resocialization techniques that prepare the veteran to anticipate and appropriately respond to unique challenges that may arise within the context of social or familial interactions (Lapierre et al., 2007).
