Mental Health Advisory Team (MHAT)

A Mental Health Advisory Team (MHAT) is a group of mental health professionals who provide expert support and advice to organizations, such as military units or community groups, to promote mental well-being. They assess mental health needs, offer training, and develop strategies to prevent and address psychological issues, especially during stressful situations or crises. The goal of MHAT is to enhance resilience, ensure appropriate care, and reduce stigma around mental health, ultimately helping individuals maintain their psychological health in challenging environments.
