      Resources for cleared professionals

      Cleared talent is essential to the success of our critical government missions. Mental health support within the intelligence community is often misunderstood, which discourages members from seeking help when they need it. In fact, mental health support is regarded favorably within the intelligence community as a vital pillar of resilience. In addition, seeking mental health support is not sufficient cause for a security clearance to be denied, and it is extremely rare for a clearance to be adversely affected (<1%).

      For cleared professionals who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, or other mental health issues, below are resources to consider.
