A MESSAGE FROM DR. ANTHONY HASSAN, PRESIDENT & CEO, CVN
In 2025 Cohen Veterans Network (CVN) went global. I’m thrilled to report that CVN will provide mental health services on bases in Asia alongside the Army & Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES). There is a vast unmet need for military families, DoDCAC, and DoDEA civilians living abroad, and we are so proud to be able to help those who join their service member overseas. Additionally, CVN has used our proven model to replicate high-quality, accessible care for allied military populations. This year we were able to further grow and expand our model to help military families and reservists in Israel to get ahead of mental health challenges resulting from post10/7 operations. Similarly, CVN also launched a pilot to serve military-adjacent populations like first responders. All of these efforts prove that CVN is not done growing; in fact, we’re just getting started.
CVN also remains committed to growing in other areas as well, like technology and AI. While the world has seemingly embraced a “digital-first” revolution this year, CVN is also
routinely reviewing opportunities where the intersection of technology and mental health sparks innovation and efficiency while taking a person-first approach. We are finding areas where we can improve to help not only our clinic teams and clinicians, but also our clients. Changes in technology can be intimidating, but when examined through a thoughtful lens we can ensure we won’t be left behind, while still embracing change that offers measurable benefits for our network.
This year was not without its challenges, but the opportunities far outweigh any hardships. As I reflect on the year, it’s amazing to see how everything we have built at CVN has led us to this point. We have a solid foundation that has allowed us to go global, we have a team of professionals working diligently to achieve successes and milestones with each passing year, and we have an eye toward the future of what CVN can become.
The future looks bright for Cohen Veterans Network, and this year helped set the stage.
Sincerely,
Anthony Hassan Ed.D., LCSW

“Our work is often measured by the positive changes we see in our clients’ lives. But it’s also worth reflecting on what we’ll never fully know: the crises that were avoided, the hardships that never came to pass, because someone received the care they needed when they needed it.

GOING GLOBAL:
CVN EXPANDS ITS REACH AND IMPACT
Cohen Veterans Network continues to innovate to meet the growing demand for mental health services with plans to extend its reach and proven model of care around the world.
CVN EXPANDS INTERNATIONALLY TO SERVE U.S. MILITARY FAMILIES ABROAD
CVN is expanding globally to provide vital mental health care to U.S. military families overseas. Working with the Army & Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES), the network is establishing clinics in Japan and South Korea, bringing care directly to American military family members, veterans, DoDEA staff, and DoD CAC civilians on U.S. military installations. These clinics, the first of their kind in the region, underscore CVN’s commitment to filling critical gaps in care.
The first clinics are scheduled to open in fall 2026 at Camp Foster in Okinawa, Japan, and Camp Humphreys in Pyeongtaek, South Korea. Additional clinics will follow at Kadena Air Base in Okinawa, Japan; Yokota Air Base in Tokyo, Japan; and Osan Air Base in Pyeongtaek, South Korea. Care will be provided by U.S.-licensed clinicians.
CVN EXTENDS CARE TO ISRAELI MILITARY FAMILIES
Building on our proven model of care, CVN is leveraging its extensive expertise to serve allied military communities. In partnership with the leading Israeli hospital, Sheba Medical Center, and principally funded by Friends of the IDF (FIDF) and Steve Cohen, a new Cohen Clinic recently opened in Modi’in, Israel, providing mental health services to post-10/7 Israel Defense Forces (IDF) veterans,
reservists, and their families across Israel. Through a generous grant from UJA-Federation (UJA), the clinic’s community room will also serve as hub for community activities and community relations. The clinic will launch a satellite location in the north of Israel in Mevo’ot in 2026, to further expand access to mental health services for military families across the country.
FIRST CLINIC TO OPEN IN KANSAS
CVN, in collaboration with the Robert R. McCormick Foundation, will open its first mental health clinic in Kansas in early 2026. Inspired by Colonel Robert R. McCormick’s WWI service with the 1st Infantry Division, based at Fort Riley, the McCormick Foundation is dedicated to supporting service members, veterans, and their families in the community. The Cohen Clinic at Centerstone, located in Manhattan, Kansas, will provide care to over 181,000 service members, veterans, and military families across the state.
This new clinic will represent CVN’s 23rd in the U.S., extending services to military families across 21 states.
TREATING LOS ANGELES FIRE DEPARTMENT PERSONNEL
CVN has launched a pilot program to extend its model of care to offer mental health services to Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) uniformed personnel and their families. In partnership with the Gary Sinise Foundation (GSF), a nonprofit established in 2011 to support America's defenders, veterans, first responders, and their families, services are available through the Cohen Clinic at VVSD, Los Angeles in Torrance, CA.
The partnership between CVN and GSF follows the January 2025 Los Angeles-area wildfires, which caused significant physical damage and placed considerable emotional strain on the community and its first responders.
The Cohen Clinic at VVSD, Los Angeles staff have undergone specialized cultural competence training provided by the International Association of Firefighters (IAFF), to ensure clinicians are fully equipped to serve this population. This training focused on the unique culture, stressors, and experiences of firefighters and their families, enabling care providers to offer more effective and relatable mental health support.
“You guys have been phenomenal at everything. Guiding me through the whole process has made me feel safe and cared for. Thank you.”
— Client, Los Angeles Clinic
“Working with [clinician] has truly been one of the most transformative experiences of my life…the tools she’s given me aren’t just techniques; they're lifelines that I use daily to navigate my world with more clarity, confidence, and peace. I’m not exaggerating when I say that my time with [clinician] changed my life. I feel stronger, more whole, and more hopeful than I ever thought possible…”
— Client, Fayetteville Clinic
COMBATING SUICIDE AMONG MILITARY WOMEN
Women veterans experience suicide rates 92 percent higher than their civilian peers and were 144 percent more likely to die by firearm suicide in 2022. To address this critical issue, CVN was awarded a grant by Face the Fight to help enhance suicide prevention efforts for military-affiliated women through research, training and public awareness.
Research: CVN-IQ, the network’s research division, conducted a gap analysis that critically assessed the current state of lethal means safety (LMS) research and practice for military-affiliated women. It highlighted key strategies to improve LMS safety counseling for this population.
Training: Building on the analysis, CVN developed a lethal means training for clinicians treating military women, with over 1,000 participants, and a toolkit that was downloaded more than 500 times, highlighting the critical demand for these resources.
Public Awareness: CVN additionally developed an awareness campaign Have Her Six: Prevent Military Women Suicide, which highlighted the urgent issue of suicide among military women, provided prevention strategies tailored to women service members and veterans, and encouraged greater support for women who serve.
These efforts demonstrate CVN’s steadfast commitment to addressing the unique challenges faced by military-affiliated women and advancing meaningful solutions to reduce suicide rates.
“The presenters were extremely knowledgeable and responsive to questions... I loved this training!”
— Training Attendee
“Starting therapy at this clinic has been one of the most life-changing decisions I’ve made… I’m incredibly grateful for the care, compassion, and hope this clinic has given me.”
— Client, Jacksonville, FL Clinic
DATA DRIVEN INSIGHTS FROM CVN-IQ
CVN is a high performing, learning mental health system using data daily to ensure our clinics deliver on our promise of quality care. By leveraging data from CVN-IQ, the network’s research division, we continuously improve and innovate in the field of mental health.
In 2025, CVN-IQ advanced mental health care through strategic initiatives and impactful research. Key achievements included unlocking new Electronic Health Record (EHR) data capabilities and securing a collaboration with Uniformed Services University of Health Sciences (USUHS) to disseminate research from the network’s data to inform the field. Research efforts were focused on a Face the Fight funded project aimed at reducing veteran suicide through lethal means safety messaging; a proposal that addressed a key need for military family readiness through couples therapy; exploring a novel treatment option for military parents with trauma exposure; and mitigating gaps in clinician training and clinical/professional knowledge.
CVN-IQ research was additionally published this year in several peerreviewed journals, including:
★ Journal of Psychiatric Research
ໜ Predicting Mental Health Treatment Outcomes using Latent Growth Mixture Models and Machine Learning in a Real-World Clinical Setting.
★ Journal of Traumatic Stress
ໜ Treatment outcomes for military-affiliated clients with posttraumatic stress disorder in a community mental health network.

OUR CORE VALUES AT WORK

engaged in meaningful service activities, including park cleanups, supporting food banks, and volunteering at local museums. These collective efforts exemplify CVN’s dedication to making a positive impact on the communities we serve.
CVN GIVES BACK
CVN’s commitment to military families extends beyond mental health services, reflecting a deep dedication to the communities we serve. For the second year in a row, CVN donated $22,000 to local food banks in the areas served by our 22 Steven A. Cohen Military Family Clinics.
The food bank donations highlight CVN’s holistic approach to care. Recognizing that social drivers of health, such as food insecurity, employment, housing, and education, are critical to overall well-being, our Cohen Clinics provide comprehensive case management services. These services help clients navigate challenges and connect with essential resources.
Many local food banks expressed appreciation for our support amid rising food assistance needs.
“We are incredibly grateful to the Cohen Veterans Network for your commitment to fighting hunger in our community. Your kindness and generosity provide not just food, but hope and dignity to our neighbors. Your meaningful gift made it possible for us to provide 2,500 nutritious meals to families in need during the holiday season. Thank you for sharing our belief that no one should go hungry.”
