The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs offers two innovative programs: Veterans Mobile Evaluation Team (VMET) and Veterans Response Teams (VRT), which collaborate with local law enforcement to enhance access to mental health care for veterans in crisis. These programs meet the needs of assessing veterans' mental health in the event of a crisis to increase trust and potentially avoid incarceration or involuntary hospitalization.
