Officials in the Office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Force Health Protection and Readiness announced Feb. 24 the kick-off of inTransition. This is a new program designed to offer servicemembers currently receiving mental health treatment a bridge of support between health care providers when they transfer to a new location or separate from active service.
Once contact is made, the service member is assigned a transition support coach. These coaches are licensed, master's-level behavioral health clinicians specially trained and skilled in understanding today's military culture. They understand and respect the importance of servicemember privacy, and provide one-on-one coaching with the servicemember via telephone until the transition to the new mental health provider is complete.
