Summary
Lack of child care may be a major barrier for some military parents seeking mental health services through the Veterans Affairs (VA) healthcare system.Veterans seeking outpatient mental health services were surveyed regarding their parenting and child care needs. Most Veterans, both men and women, felt that provision of on-site child care services at the VA would be useful, that they would use child care services if they were available, and that lack of child care was a major barrier for Veterans seeking mental health services.
