Hope For The Warriors

Cohen Veterans Network: 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 the greater Onslow County area.See Schedule O for continuation

Cultural Awareness: HOPE's communications team drives the initiative to bridge the military-civilian divide through understanding of the needs of the veteran community and military families, and how the public at large can support them. The team facilitates dialogue, primarily through digital platforms, that brings awareness of and respect for the existing cultural differences and experiences. Additionally, sustained awareness of the needs of the military community results in effective programming for the DOD, Department of Veteran's Affairs, and socially-responsible corporate entities. This team informs HOPE and its partners with metrics and engagement strategies that continue that connection.

Community Engagement:HOPE works directly at the community level to engage both military and civilian communities, uniting corporate and civil leaders, school districts, military agencies, and more to work together with a shared goal of embracing the military families within their communities. HOPE provides education and resources, both in person and virtually, to service members and their families as they transition out of the military. By developing relationships within the community - through both events and program work - HOPE establishes connectedness to community that is also a key component of the warrior culture.

Community Development:HOPE strives to build educated communities that understand the unique needs and challenges of today's military family. HOPE collaborates with military organizations, corporations, civic groups, foundations, and individuals to improve military and veteran education and engagement. HOPE's corporate partners enjoy a rich relationship that is beneficial to their culture and feeds their military employee programs, while HOPE's individual supporters derive a personal touch to their giving.

Other Programs:The Executive Team plays an integral role in the near fight and far fight of HOPE. Participating in conversations that drive change to protect the future of HOPE military families, while maintaining a personal touch with those HOPE serves, is critical in developing and maintaining relevant programming. The excellence of the HOPE team stems from the daily focus on team development. Specifically addressing the nature of HOPE work, advances in support, and the vision of HOPE, every staff member is immersed in opportunities to enhance their skill sets and work laterally across the spectrum providing a cohesive and consistent experience for HOPE service members and their families.
