Veterans
Many veterans struggle to find behavioral health support, leading to consequences of depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, substance use disorders, suicidal ideation and worse. Youturn Health can help.
We have a proven history of supporting veterans. We also understand the unique difficulties and nuances of behavioral health, stress management, and transitioning back to civilian life. Our program has been built on sustained, engaging support for individuals – because that’s what works.
We provide a compassionate approach that includes family support, peer coaching, and virtual tools, to support vets wherever they are in their journey. Additionally, veterans in our peer coaching program are matched with coaches who also have military experience and are knowledgeable in navigating the Department of Veterans Affairs and Veterans Benefits Administration.
