About half of U.S. military veterans who served in Iraq or Afghanistan don’t receive the mental health treatment they need, and the vast Veterans Health Administration system often doesn’t offer care for veterans’ families or for many veterans who were not honorably discharged.
In 2016 — at the urging of his son, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran — Cohen pledged $275 million to build a network of veterans clinics across the country.
The clinics also provide services to veterans’ family members or other people — such as close friends or girlfriends or boyfriends — whom the veterans identify as caregivers.
The idea is to create a welcoming environment with as many ways as possible for veterans and their families to access mental health services.
The clinic’s 10,000-square-foot space on East Orchard Road is decorated with art by local veterans or military families.
The clinic’s No. 1 goal, as Kaag put it, is to get veterans and their families, “back to better.”.
It also hopes to expand, eventually establishing a satellite clinic in Colorado Springs and offering telehealth services to veterans across Colorado and in neighboring states, Hassan said. »
