The Steven A. Cohen Military Family Clinic at Hope For The Warriors provides confidential, high-quality behavioral health care services at little to no-cost without long wait times to post-9/11 veterans, active duty service members with a TRICARE referral and military families.
The clinic is a local resource connection for the community, including Camp Lejeune, Jacksonville and greater Onslow County area.
Services are available regardless of discharge status, role in uniform, combat experience, ability to pay or insurance.
Hope For The Warriors is deeply rooted in the Jacksonville community. We were founded aboard Camp Lejeune in 2006, and even though we’ve expanded our presence nationally and virtually, we’ve never wavered in serving the warrior community in our home base. This partnership with the Cohen Veterans Network allows us to deepen our impact in North Carolina and combine resources that will result in life-transforming mental health support for the area’s veterans and their families.
— Robin Kelleher, President & CEO of Hope For The Warriors
