About Us
In 2016, philanthropist Steven A. Cohen recognized the need for accessible, high-quality mental healthcare services for our nation’s service men and women and their loved ones. In that year, he made public a long-term commitment to provide that care by establishing the Cohen Veterans Network; a national network of Steven A. Cohen Military Family Clinics dedicated to ensuring veterans and their families receive the support they need to lead fulfilling and productive lives. To help further this commitment, the Cohen Veterans Network partnered with Centerstone, one of the nation’s leading behavioral health service providers. For more than 60 years Centerstone has been delivering life changing care by providing comprehensive, integrated behavioral health services for all ages. Together, CVN and Centerstone are on a mission to provide veterans and military family members with compassionate and effective care to help heal the invisible wounds of war. In 2017, the first Steven A. Cohen Military Family Clinic at Centerstone was opened in Clarksville, TN. Three years later in 2020, the mission was expanded to include additional clinics in Jacksonville, FL and Fayetteville, NC.Who We Serve
Veterans & Active Duty – We serve post-9/11 veterans and anyone who has served in the United States Armed Forces, including the National Guard and Reserves, regardless of discharge status, role while in uniform, or combat experience. All sexual orientations and gender identities are welcome. We also treat active-duty service members with a TRICARE referral. Family – We serve the entire military family, including parents, siblings, spouses or partners, children, caregivers, and others of veterans and active-duty military. Although we make a priority of serving post-9/11 veterans, each Cohen Clinic will assess all veterans based on their specific needs. We will make every effort to see pre-9/11 veterans who can be best served by our level of targeted outpatient care, based on clinician availability.Youth Mental Health First Aid Training
