The Trump administration's proposed cuts to the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) are sparking concerns about the impact on mental health services for US veterans. With over 80,000 personnel potentially affected, the agency's decision to phase out telework may exacerbate the issue. As the VA undergoes significant changes, veterans' access to essential healthcare services, including mental health support and counseling, may be disrupted. The move has raised concerns among veterans' advocacy groups, who are calling for greater investment in veteran mental health services and support.
