New York, NY, March 08, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Headstrong Project Inc., a national mental health treatment practice providing veterans with barrier-free mental health care, received a grant from Wounded Warrior Project\u00ae (WWP) to increase mental health treatment innovations. Amid ongoing efforts to meet the growing demand for critical mental health access for the nation\u2019s veteran families, the funding will help Headstrong expand its program delivery model, enabling it to quickly respond to veterans\u2019 needs surrounding isolation, depression, and anxiety \u2013 the hallmarks of quarantine during the pandemic.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cBased on the WWP Annual Warrior Survey of wounded veterans we serve, amid the COVID-19 pandemic, three in five\u00a0(61%) say they feel more disconnected from my family, friends, or community,\u201d said Michael Richardson, WWP Vice President of Independence Services and Mental Health. \u201cCommunity and connection are critical to the health and wellness of the warriors we serve. We\u2019re proud to support Headstrong Project in its efforts to provide resources and care for warriors and family members struggling with isolation, anxiety, and loneliness.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Working in partnership with Weill Cornell Medical College, one of the nation\u2019s leading mental health care centers, Headstrong developed a first-of-its-kind program tailored to each individual\u2019s needs. The customized treatments address post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), addiction, anxiety and depression, trauma, grief, and anger management. Grant funding will help expand telehealth treatment capacity in strategic market areas, especially for warriors located in rural markets and where barriers imposed by the pandemic limit access to mental healthcare.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cOur partnership with the Wounded Warrior Project couldn\u2019t have come at a more important time in Headstrong\u2019s history,\u201d said COL (U.S. Army, Ret.) Jim McDonough, Headstrong\u2019s Executive Director.\u00a0 \u201cIn the middle of a raging global public health crisis that continues to adversely impact our nation\u2019s wounded warriors and their families, Headstrong has delivered uninterrupted care and treatment, thanks in large part to the support provided by organizations like the Wounded Warrior Project.\u201d<\/p>\n

WWP\u2019s investment will expand access to world-class clinicians and broaden the overall value of Headstrong\u2019s services by:<\/p>\n
