The Veterans Mental Health Steering Committee announced a grant program that will give Alabama veterans 24/7, year-round access to mental health support.
Uwill, a national mental health and wellness platform, will administer the program, providing immediate, confidential mental health and wellness support to Alabamaโs veterans.
The company developed the first individual and therapist matching platform, offering immediate appointments with licensed counselors, teletherapy, crisis connection, on-demand medical care, prescription management, wellness programming, realtime data and support.
The program is funded by Act 2024-426, signed into law by Governor Kay Ivey. The law set aside $3 million for pilot programs to support veteransโ behavioral health needs. Funding was awarded through a competitive application process and is intended to help fill gaps in services and expand access to care for veterans across Alabama.
