Cohen Veterans Network Collaborates With SAFE Project On Stigma Reduction Initiative

During May 2023, Cohen Veterans Network (CVN) partnered with the SAFE Project on a stigma reduction initiative for addiction disorder. The project highlights the impacts of addiction disorder and mental health challenges in the veteran community, and seeks to fight the stigma associated with seeking help. It also seeks to promote resources available to combat addiction. During 2020, an estimated 2.4 million veterans had an addiction disorder and 3.9 million veterans had a mental illness. Another 1.1 million had co-occurring addiction disorder and mental illness.

On May 18, CVN joined the SAFE Project's #NoShame Movement . . .
