The State of
Ohio is deeply indebted to the service members returning
from military service for their commitment to securing the
safety of its’ citizens. Their service to our country and
state is deeply appreciated. The following Service Member,
Family and Community Behavioral Health Resource Guide is
provided to assist military service members, veterans, their
families and community-based agencies with the service
member’s behavioral health needs during the transition from
active duty back to civilian life.
This guide provides behavioral health information and
resources for military service members and veterans about
how to “positively cope” with the transition back to family
members, friends and the community from active military
service. It also describes some of the types of behaviors
and feelings that are normal combat stress reactions and
where to go for help if normal stress reactions become
problematic.
For family members, this guide is designed to provide
information about realistic expectations for the homecoming
of the military service members and veterans and available
behavioral health resources in the event problems are
identified resulting from combat stress.
This guide will also assist community-based agencies
and providers with the resources needed to make appropriate
referrals for behavioral healthcare, if needed. |
