"Every day, Cohen Veterans Network is dedicated to providing women veterans and service members with high-quality, accessible mental health care tailored to their unique needs," said Dr. Anthony Hassan, president and CEO of Cohen Veterans Network. "With the Have Her Six campaign, we aim to extend that support beyond our clinics-equipping individuals with the knowledge and tools to help save lives."

Key components of the campaign include:

• #HaveHerSix Video Series - Real stories and suicide prevention strategies from women veterans and advocates.
• Have Her Six: Minutes to Reduce Her Risk - An interactive online tool offering suicide prevention strategies, including lethal means safety.
• Military Women Resource Hub - Information, resources and support for women service members, veterans and their networks.

The campaign builds on CVN's commitment to addressing the mental health needs of military-affiliated women. CVN recently released the evidence-based Lethal Means Counseling for Military-Affiliated Women toolkit for clinicians, informed by a Gap Analysis conducted by the CVN Institute for Quality (CVN-IQ), the network's research division. It highlighted rising suicide rates among women veterans, with firearms as the most common method, and identified gaps in prevention efforts. Have Her Six incorporates these insights to drive awareness, improve prevention, and enhance support for military women.

"Suicide prevention requires collective action," said Justin Schmitt, AVP of Corporate Impact at USAA, which established Face the Fight alongside founding partners Reach Resilience and the Humana Foundation. "We are grateful to support the Have Her Six campaign, which empowers military women and their support networks to take meaningful steps toward prevention."

Since 2016, CVN has provided care to more than 89,000 clients in over 800,000 clinical sessions. Women represent approximately 32 percent of the network's active duty and veteran clients-double the proportion of female veterans in the U.S. veteran population. CVN addresses a range of mental health concerns including depression, anxiety, military transition challenges, adjustment issues, PTSD, anger, grief and loss, family issues, relationship challenges, and children's behavioral problems. Care is available through the network's 22 Cohen Clinics serving 20 states in-person and via CVN Telehealth, face-to-face video therapy.
