Moments ago, the U.S. House unanimously passed IAVA-drafted legislation designed to end the tragedy of 22 veterans dying by suicide every day. The Clay Hunt Suicide Prevention for American Veterans (SAV) Act will: Increase access to mental health care and capacity at VA to meet demand; Improve the quality of care and boosting accountability at VA; and, Develop a community support system for veterans. Up next is the Senate, which could take up the bill as early as next week. IAVA has laid the groundwork to prevent the bill being blocked by a single Senator like it was last month. Thanks for your help and be on the lookout for additional updates in the coming days. Team IAVA
