Centerstone’s Military Services Achieves Veteran Ready Certification

Centerstone’s Military Services, has partnered with PsychArmor, the leader in military culture training, to achieve Veteran Ready Certification. By taking this step to offer enhanced training for employees, Centerstone’s Military Services is demonstrating its commitment to offering a more genuine connection and better support for those in military and Veteran communities.

“We’re honored to have achieved the status of a Veteran Ready Organization! This designation reaffirms our dedication to those who have served and has elevated our unwavering commitment to increasing access to high-quality, culturally competent care.” said Dr. Blas Villalobos, CEO of Centerstone’s Military Services.

As a nationally recognized nonprofit leader and preferred training provider for military cultural awareness, PsychArmor serves members of the military-connected community and anyone who wants to more effectively engage with them. Their team of clinical psychologists and social workers, all steeped in military culture, create learning journeys, from continuing education to customized training, including online courses, curricula, podcasts, webinars, live speaking engagements, and social media.

“We value our healthcare partners who are actively working to enhance healthcare competence through education and training. Cultural awareness training for providers assists in reducing or eliminating barriers to care,” said Dr. Tina Atherall, CEO of PsychArmor.

Recognizing that the experiences of military personnel are much different from those of nonmilitary personnel, these programs structure their content to address the unique needs and strengths of service members, Veterans, and their families, while also ensuring the provision of evidence-based therapeutic interventions.
