Department of Defense Task Force on Mental Health:
• Stigma in the military remains pervasive and often prevents service members from seeking needed care.
• The military system does not have enough fiscal or personnel resources to support the psychological health of service members and their families in peace and during conflict.
• Mental health professionals aren't easily accessible to service members and their families, and the number of active-duty mental health professionals is insufficient and likely to decrease.
• Leaders, family members and medical personnel are insufficiently trained in matters relating to psychological health.
• Some Department of Defense policies, including those related to command notification or self-disclosure of psychological health issues, are overly conservative.
