American Airlines Partners with Cohen Veterans Network

In an important step towards enhancing mental health support for veterans, the Cohen Veterans Network (CVN) has received significant backing from American Airlines. This support is made possible through the generosity of American Airlines customers, who contribute unused AAdvantage® miles to the Miles for Our Heroes program. This initiative aims to facilitate travel for CVN staff across its 22 clinics nationwide, allowing for attendance at crucial meetings and ensuring better connectivity with the veterans they serve.

Dr. Anthony Hassan, the president and CEO of CVN, expressed gratitude for this partnership, highlighting how it bolsters their mission of providing high-quality mental health care to veterans and their families. He stated, "Their contributions help us advance our mission to provide high-quality, accessible mental health care to veterans, service members, and their families. With their help, we can ensure military families receive the care they need and deserve."

As a renowned airline with deep roots in supporting the military community, American Airlines has consistently demonstrated its commitment to those who have served in the United States Armed Forces. Their sponsorship of various military nonprofit organizations and the use of their aircraft for special missions underline this commitment.

Impact of the Partnership

Since its inception in 2016, CVN has made remarkable strides in mental health care for post-9/11 veterans, servicing nearly 90,000 clients through over 800,000 clinical sessions. The network addresses a broad spectrum of mental health issues, including depression, anxiety, PTSD, and family-related challenges. With this new partnership, CVN aims to continue its vital work, providing necessary care through in-person visits at the 22 Cohen Clinics situated in 20 states, as well as through their Telehealth service that offers face-to-face video therapy.

This collaboration brings to light the importance of community support in the realm of mental health, particularly for veterans who face unique challenges as they reintegrate into civilian life. The backing from American Airlines illustrates how decades of military service are honored not only through words but also through actionable support that improves the lives of veterans.
