Abstract
Recently, Dodge et al. (2024) published an article in American Psychologist offering recommendations to the mental health field for changing from an individual-level to a population-level focus. These recommendations included scaling up evidence-based programs, innovating and evaluating population-level interventions, and creating a primary system of care to promote mental health and well-being. For the past 2 decades, the Veterans Health Administration has been successfully engaged in these activities. In this commentary, we describe some of these ongoing efforts to demonstrate that Dodge et al.'s (2024) recommendations are indeed feasible with the proper infrastructure and resources and that the Veterans Health Administration's efforts can serve as a model for the field.
