President Donald Trump's administration has signed Sen. Martha McSally’s (R-AZ) bill to increase mental health therapy options, according to McSally's website.

The bill was designed for veterans who are seeking "innovative therapies" in an effort to combat their post-traumatic stress disorder.

The bill also covers other mental health issues as well. The bill is a part of a package that has been coined the "Commander John Scott Hannon Veterans Mental Health Care Improvement Act."

“Every veteran is impacted by their service differently and we owe them the best possible access to care,” McSally said in a press release. “I was pleased to see my bill to help veterans access innovative and potentially life-changing therapies signed into law as part of broader mental health legislation. My bill requires the VA to launch a study into post-traumatic growth therapy, which can help turn veterans' lives around. In addition, the broader bill will increase much-needed funding for state and local suicide prevention groups and improve VA telehealth access. This is a crucial initiative to save lives and improve mental health care for veterans in our country.”
