MISSION & VISION As part of the Cohen Veterans Network, our mission is to support the quality of life of veterans and military families. We envision a world where all veterans and military family members have access to high-quality mental health care that enables them to live fulfilling, productive lives. WHAT WE DO The Cohen Clinic at Penn provides confidential evidence-based mental health care for veterans and their families -- at no cost and with no long waits. WHO WE SERVE We serve post-9/11 veterans -- including those from the National Guard and Reserves -- regardless of discharge status,... role in uniform, or combat experience. When we have the capacity, we can serve pre-9/11 veterans. We also serve family members including veteran family members and military families (National Guard, Reserves, active duty). We are not able to provide individual therapy services to active duty service members at this time. However, we can and do work with current members members of the National Guard and Reserves. Family members include parents, spouses/partners, children, siblings, caregivers, and others affected by the individual's military service.
