VA CCN Outpatient Mental Health Services

Specialized outpatient support at Resilience Illinois helps Veterans thrive in their own communities through authorized VA care.

What is VA CCN Outpatient Mental Health?

VA CCN outpatient mental health services refer to behavioral health care that does not require an overnight stay in a hospital. This includes regular therapy, psychiatric medication management, and specialized trauma care. At Resilience Illinois, we provide these outpatient services as an authorized community partner, allowing you to maintain your daily routine while receiving professional support.

The Path to Outpatient Authorization

1
VA Outpatient Request: Ask your VA provider for a "Community Care Outpatient Consult."
2
Verify Eligibility: The VA confirms you meet the drive-time or wait-time standards for community care.
3
Select Resilience: Request that Resilience Illinois be listed as your outpatient destination.
4
HSRM Transfer: The VA uploads your clinical authorization to our secure portal.
5
Intake Appointment: You meet with our team to establish an outpatient treatment plan.
OUTPATIENT PRO-TIP: If you are transitioning from an inpatient VA program back to civilian life, ask your discharge coordinator for a "Warm Handoff" to Resilience Illinois. This can expedite the outpatient referral process significantly.
COMMON PITFALL: "Under-authorizing Care." Ensure your outpatient consult covers both "Assessment" and "Treatment." Occasionally, the VA only authorizes an assessment, which requires a new request before actual therapy can begin.
