Programs for Veterans and Active-Duty Military

At Compassion Center, we understand the unique mental health and healthcare needs of Veterans and active-duty military personnel and their families since not every family is facing the same challenges or obstacles. Recognizing that trauma can be inherited, Compassion Center takes a proactive approach in supporting the children and families of Veterans and Active-Duty Military, as well as those who serve(d). Taking a proactive approach, Compassion Center has established the Compassion Center Veterans & Active-Duty Military Resource Center in an online format, offering free programs and reduced fees for the following services at affiliated clinics and centers. Compassion Center encourages ALL who feel they need help to seek out help, or support their loved ones with a referral to one or more of these groups and/or consultations- if nothing else, a referral can lead to a referral and every connection further spreads the message of compassion. 

 

Compassion Center does not care about the type of military service one is tasked with, or the type of discharge a Veteran has received, just that they need help.

Our mission is to provide access to comprehensive, integrative holistic healthcare solutions that address the physical, mental, and emotional challenges faced by all individuals with custom curated solutions designed to uplift Veterans, and their families. Through the Compassion Center Veterans & Active-Duty Military Resource Center (VADMRC), we focus on empowering those who protect and serve our country, and their families, with specialized clinical services, peer-support groups and group activities that connect those in need with those who can help.

 

 

We are 100% committed to delivering personalized care that promotes healing, wellness, and mental resilience, and offer access to a variety of programs ranging from groups to clinical exams and outpatient care. Dependent upon the local jurisdiction of the patient(s), and/or the scheduling availability of our providers in that area, Compassion Center offers programs that are uniquely suited and exclusive to Veterans and active-duty military family units to help stabilize and address a variety of issues with integrative modalities that may not be available through the VHA and Vet Centers.

 

Tailored Programs for Optimizing Biophysical Wellness, Mental Health and Emotional Well-Being

Our Veterans’ programs are meticulously designed in collaboration with Veterans for Veterans to cater to the specific needs of Veterans and active-duty military members, and their families. We recognize that each individual’s journey to wholeness and wellness is unique, and so we offer a diverse range of individualized modalities and services to fully support their mental health and wellness goals during service, after their service and during each transitional segue.

 

 

Working through a variety of partner clinicians, clinics, practitioners and community-based organizations, our wide variety of programs and approaches integrate the best of: Ancient Chinese, Ayurvedic, traditional, allopathic, and other innovative therapeutics into the continuum of care to ensure a well-rounded pathway to recovery and well-being is being integrated into each individual’s continuity of care, compassionately, “leaving no stone unturned” in the collective pursuit of continuity and wholeness, leading towards a redirection of personal mental health and healthcare.
