Achieving Mental Well-Being for Your Whole health

Supporting VA’s Whole health Model of Care for Veterans

This guide is designed to help Veterans live their lives to the fullest. Mental health plays a vital role in connecting a person’s Whole health – physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. Common mental health issues that Veterans face are presented, and can be reviewed to determine if professional care is needed. Topics include depression, anxiety, alcohol problems, relationships, and posttraumatic stress disorder. Following the Whole health approach, self-care activities to promote better mental health are provided, including mindful awareness exercises, and tips on being more active, getting better sleep, and healthy eating. The importance of community supports is also highlighted, along with contact information for national resources. 96 pages. 7-3/8" x 9"
