Over a million veterans seek mental healthcare through the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) every year. Many voice challenges to their spiritual beliefs, especially after deployment. Research supports that integrating spiritual care into mental health interventions improves the ability of veterans to cope. Mental health practitioners-healthcare professionals specializing in mental health--are key to incorporating spirituality into the mental healthcare of veterans, as well as collaborating with VHA chaplains.
每年有超过100万退伍军人通过退伍军人健康管理局（VHA）寻求心理健康护理。许多人表达了他们在精神信仰方面面临的挑战，尤其是在部署之后。研究表明，将精神护理纳入心理健康干预措施可以提高退伍军人的应对能力。心理健康从业者——专门从事心理健康的医疗保健专业人员——是将精神性融入退伍军人心理健康护理以及与VHA牧师合作的关键。
