Advisory Committee on the Readjustment of Veterans, Notice of 
Meeting

    The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) gives notice that a meeting 
of the Advisory Committee on the Readjustment of Veterans will be held 
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, September 11, 12, and 13, 2018. The 
meetings will be conducted at the Department of Veterans Affairs 
National Headquarters, at 811 Vermont Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20420, 
in Conference Room 6132. The agenda for these three days will begin at 
8:00 a.m. and end at 4:30 p.m. The meetings are open to the public.
    The purpose of the Committee is to review the post-war readjustment 
needs of combat-theater Veterans and to evaluate the availability, 
effectiveness and coordination of VA programs available to meet 
Veterans' readjustment service needs. The Committee reviews issues 
related to promoting Veterans' access to VA services, provision of 
readjustment counseling services at Vet Centers, and coordination of 
care between the Vet Centers and VA medical facilities.
    On Tuesday, September 11, the agenda will feature briefings from 
the Readjustment Counseling Service (RCS) Chief Officer regarding the 
current activities of the RCS Vet Centers to include the full scope of 
outreach and readjustment counseling being provided to combat-theater 
Veterans, Service members and their families. The briefing will also 
provide a status report regarding the RCS organizational transition to 
a single point of service within the general organizational 
transformation of the Veterans Health Administration (VHA).
    On Wednesday, September 12, the Committee will focus on VA mental 
health services and best practices for coordinating VA mental health 
services with RCS readjustment counseling services to better serve the 
combat-theater Veteran population. To this end Committee members will 
receive briefings from VA's mental health leadership on the types and 
distribution of psychiatric disorders currently being presented by OIF/
OEF Veterans and the various treatment regimens provided for their care 
inclusive of psychotherapy and psychopharmacology. VA Mental Health and 
RCS leadership will additionally present on the collaborative 
activities currently underway between RCS and the Office of Mental 
Health and Suicide Prevention to achieve life-saving outcomes for at 
risk combat-theater Veterans and Service members.
    On Thursday, September 13, the Committee will engage in strategic 
discussions for the purpose of formulating conclusions, perspectives 
and recommendations for developing its 20th annual report to Congress.
    No time will be allocated at this meeting for receiving oral 
presentations from the public. However, members of the public may 
direct written questions or submit prepared statements for review by 
the Committee before the meeting to Mr. Charles M. Flora, M.S.W., 
Designated Federal Officer, Readjustment Counseling Service, Department 
of Veterans Affairs, 810 Vermont Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20420.
