The funding provides up to $600 per family member for mental health services, with a total cap of $2,400 per household. Eligible participants include active-duty Air Force and Space Force personnel, their dependents, and members of the Guard or Reserve activated for more than 15 days under Title 10 or Title 32 orders. These funds can be applied to both in-person sessions and telehealth appointments.
Air Force and Space Force Partner to Subsidize Mental Health Care
A new $75,000 grant from the Air & Space Forces Aid Society will now cover out-of-pocket therapy costs for service members and their dependents. The initiative, run through the Cohen Veterans Network, aims to remove financial hurdles preventing military families from accessing professional mental health support across 23 clinics nationwide.
Dr. Anthony Hassan, president and CEO of the Cohen Veterans Network, noted that financial constraints often impede care, making this partnership a critical step in their mission. Retired Maj. Gen. Ed Thomas, who leads the Air & Space Forces Aid Society, emphasized that the organization views mental health as a core component of military readiness. The Cohen Veterans Network, established in 2016, has provided nearly 945,000 clinical sessions to date, addressing issues ranging from PTSD and anxiety to transition challenges and behavioral health concerns for children.
