STAMFORD, Conn., May 14, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- As May marks Mental Health Awareness Month, Cohen
Veterans Network (CVN), a national not-for-profit network of mental
health clinics for post-9/11 veterans, service members and military
family members, announced a series of accessible and effective
mental health tools and resources. The assets underscore the
network's commitment to providing timely and relevant support to
the veteran and military communities, recognizing that mental
health is a critical component of overall wellness, especially in
the unique contexts of military life.
"Our goal is to meet veterans, service members and their
families where they are," says Cohen Veterans Network President and
CEO Dr. Anthony Hassan. "That means
recognizing their unique journeys, understanding their diverse
needs, and offering a spectrum of support tailored to meet those
needs."
Throughout the month, the network is highlighting a number of
resources available at no-cost, including:
- Micro Strategies for Your Mental Health – Short,
actionable tips, which will be shared on CVN's social media, to
help military families reduce stress and enhance their mental
state.
- Tools for Managing Stress & Worry - A free,
self-paced online course designed specifically for military
families to manage stress when and where they need it.
- Cohen Clinic Events – Clinics across the network are
hosting events designed to foster connections among military
families, facilitating a sense of community and shared
understanding.
- Client-Centered Therapy – CVN provides high-quality,
accessible mental health services to all post-9/11 veterans,
service members with a TRICARE referral, and the entire military
family without a referral including parents, siblings, spouses or
partners, children, caregivers, and others. The network offers
individual, group, couples, and family counseling.
"Military families deserve seamless access to mental health
support. At CVN, we're removing barriers by providing treatment to
family members without the need for a referral, and child watch
services and telehealth to ensure timely, accessible care for our
veteran and military communities," adds Dr. Hassan.
Since its inception in 2016, CVN has treated more than 67,000
clients and provided over 575,000 clinical sessions. The network
treats a wide variety of mental health challenges including
depression, anxiety, adjustment issues, anger, PTSD, grief and
loss, family issues, transition challenges, relationship problems,
and children's behavioral problems. CVN also provides comprehensive
case management services to help clients with potential stressors
such as unemployment, finances, housing, and more. Care is
