**🌟 A GRANTING PARTNERSHIP FOR VETERANS IN IMPERIAL COUNTY! 🌟**

We are overjoyed to announce that **Vet Connect** has partnered with the **Steven A. Cohen Military Family Clinic at VVSD**—a monumental step forward in our mission to serve those who served.

**Why this matters:**

* The **Cohen Veterans Network (CVN)** was founded in **2016**, when philanthropist **Steven A. Cohen** pledged **\$275 million** to create accessible, high-quality mental health clinics dedicated to post-9/11 veterans and their families. His inspiration to launch CVN was deeply personal—his son’s deployment to Afghanistan in 2010 helped shine a light on the urgent need for veteran mental health support.
* Since then, CVN has expanded across the United States and, as of now, **operates 22 clinics in 21 states**.
* To date, the network has delivered care to **over 82,000 veterans and family members**, conducting **more than 715,000 clinical sessions** from April 2016 through March 2025.
