Cohen Veterans Network

What Cohen Veterans Network does

Cohen Veterans Network (CVN) is a US-based not-for-profit organization founded in 2016 by philanthropist Steven A. Cohen with an initial $275 million commitment, operating a national network of outpatient mental health clinics known as the Steven A. Cohen Military Family Clinics. The network serves post-9/11 veterans, active duty service members (including National Guard and Reserves), and their families regardless of discharge status or service length, addressing depression, anxiety, PTSD, adjustment issues, anger, grief, transition challenges, relationship problems, and children's behavioral issues. As of 2026, CVN operates 23-24 clinics across 22 states plus the District of Columbia through 12 community-based partner organizations (Centerstone, Endeavors, VVSD, Red Rock, Easterseals, Hope for the Warriors, The Up Center, Valley Cities, Metrocare, Alaska Behavioral Health, Aspire Health Partners, and others), with international clinics at Sheba Medical Center in Israel and five additional clinics planned on US military bases in Japan and South Korea with the Army & Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES) for 2026-2027.

CVN's core service offering combines in-person clinic-based therapy with HIPAA-compliant telehealth video conferencing, with telehealth representing approximately 56% of cumulative care delivered (505,000+ sessions). All therapy is grounded in evidence-based practices including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Prolonged Exposure (PE), Written Exposure Therapy (WET), EMDR, and measurement-based care using standardized assessments (AUDIT-C, PCL-5, GAD-7, PHQ-9). Supporting products include the CVN Institute for Quality (CVN-IQ) research arm, free APA/ASWB-approved continuing-education training for external clinicians, public awareness campaigns (Have Her Six for women veterans, Retrain Your Brain for PTSD), and self-paced tools such as Tools for Stress and Worry co-developed with Blue Star Families. CARF accreditation is held at the Fairbanks clinic.

CVN's revenue model is hybrid for a nonprofit: clinical services are billed through major commercial insurance and TRICARE where applicable, care is provided at no cost to uninsured clients to remove cost as a barrier, and the operating model is sustained through philanthropic donations and grants from Steven A. Cohen and the Steven & Alexandra Cohen Foundation, Face the Fight, the Robert R. McCormick Foundation, Friends of the IDF, USAA, and other corporate and individual donors. Cumulative scale over the 10-year history includes 100,000 clients served, 1 million clinical sessions, 505,000+ telehealth sessions, with 94% of clients getting their first appointment when desired and an average two-week wait time.

Direct peers

• Warrior Care Network: Wounded Warrior Project's clinical network offering intensive PTSD and TBI treatment at partner academic medical centers. Comparable in the same evidence-based therapy toolkit, similar veteran target audience, and high-acuity mental health outcomes focus.
• Home Base (Massachusetts General Hospital): A clinical program at Mass General Brigham providing evidence-based mental health care to post-9/11 veterans and families. Direct overlap with CVN in EBP-led therapies (CBT, PE, EMDR) and the post-9/11 veteran/military-family target segment.
• Stop Soldier Suicide: Non-profit focused specifically on suicide prevention for service members and veterans using evidence-based therapy. Closely comparable to CVN's suicide-prevention work (Have Her Six campaign, SRS training, partnership with Veterans Crisis Line).
• Give an Hour: Non-profit network of licensed mental health professionals donating services to active duty, veterans, and military families. Comparable to CVN for the same client base and emphasis on culturally competent care, though CVN operates its own clinics while Give an Hour is a referral network.
• Headstrong Project: A national non-profit that provides free, confidential mental health treatment to post-9/11 veterans and their families. Closely comparable to CVN in target population, evidence-based modality focus, and no-cost or low-cost delivery model.

Others

• Pat Tillman Foundation: Veteran-focused non-profit supporting military-affiliated individuals and families, primarily through scholarships and community leadership programs. Adjacent, complementing rather than competing directly with CVN's clinical mental health services.
• Magellan Federal (Military and Family Life Counseling Program): Contracted provider of non-medical counseling and resilience services to service members and families via programs like MFLC. Comparable as an ecosystem participant delivering confidential short-term counseling to military families with similar population and channel.

• VA Veterans Health Administration (Mental Health Services): Federal mental health services for veterans, the largest provider in the U.S. for the same target population CVN serves. Comparable as the incumbent option CVN positions against on access, confidentiality, and military-cultural competence.
