“The Defense Department’s military health system will launch Aug. 1 an online system to support counseling and other behavioral healthcare for service members and their families. DOD’s TRICARE health system is targeting the services especially to military and eligible reserves returning from Iraq and Afghanistan.
The Web-based TRICARE Assistance Program (TRIAP) is a demonstration project that lets members and their families use computers, Web cams and associated software to speak virtually face-to-face with a licensed counselor at any time, according to Rear Adm. Christine Hunter, deputy director of the TRICARE Management Activity, which administers the military health plan.”
