About this resource
The Veterans Justice Outreach (VJO) initiative seeks to prevent the unnecessary criminalization of mental health conditions and prolonged incarceration of veterans by providing eligible veterans involved with the criminal justice system access to mental health and substance abuse services offered by the Veterans Health Administration (VHA). The VJO assesses individual needs, identifies suitable resources, and connects qualified veterans to necessary services while coordinating with VA, courts, attorneys, and community partners. However, the VJO does not offer legal advice, conduct forensic psychological evaluations for the courts, take custody of veterans, or ensure acceptance into VA programs.
