The Veterans Mental Health Department (VMHD), part of the Texas Veterans Commission, is dedicated to ensuring that service members, veterans, and their families have access to effective mental health services throughout Texas. Their primary mission is to raise awareness and provide training on military-related trauma, specifically in areas such as suicide prevention, veteran homelessness, and justice-involved veteran support. VMHD offers free training, certification, and technical assistance to licensed mental health providers, community organizations, and state agencies, equipping them with vital skills to address the unique needs of veterans.

Additionally, VMHD fosters partnerships with various organizations to enhance resources available to veterans, including the Military Veteran Peer Network, which connects veterans with peer support in local mental health authorities. Their comprehensive services cater to all veterans, irrespective of discharge status or service duration, thereby creating an inclusive environment for those in need of assistance.
