Abstract:
A recently developed Conceptual Framework advocates for a transformed system of mental health services and supports for Veterans and their families. This transformed system, built on the stepped-matched model of care, may be well suited to a shift toward family-centred policies and practices. Drawing on this Framework, this article makes a case for involving families in Veteran mental health care. Key considerations and recommendations are outlined across multiple levels (direct treatment, organizational, and policy making). Despite some potential limitations, this article offers an opportunity to advance dialogue related to meaningful and safe involvement of families in Veteran mental health care.
