Access to Mental Health Services for Veterans & Their Families During COVID-19

Supporting the Military through Telehealth

San Antonio, March 26, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Steven A. Cohen Military Family Clinics at Endeavors in San Antonio, El Paso, and Killeen have adapted to the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, by continuing to provide support through virtual appointments. All three clinics are part of Cohen Veterans Network, a national not for profit organization serving veterans and military families via 15 clinics across the country.

Post-9/11 Veterans, including National Guard and Reserves, as well as military family members, can fulfill their mental health care appointments for depression, anxiety, PTSD, sleep problems, etc. via face-to-face video therapy, known as Telehealth. This service is easily accessible through a smartphone, tablet, or computer and will be utilized until further notice.

“We are proud to offer Telehealth to support not only our Veterans but their family members,” said Endeavors President & CEO, Jon Allman, “Telehealth is confidential and highly-effective.” Clients also have access to case management support and local referrals to help with other stresses like unemployment, finances, housing, and legal issues. Each clinic is developing ways to provide online support groups and community events and will provide updates on social media: @CohenClinicSA, @CohenClinicEP, @CohenClinicKN.
