Check-In: Expanding Access to Quality Care
In partnership with the Bush Institute, Face the Fight now features the Veteran Wellness Alliance’s “Check-In” on its website.
In partnership with the Bush Institute, Face the Fight now features the Veteran Wellness Alliance’s “Check-In” on its website—offering a personalized pathway to no-cost, high-quality mental and brain health support. The tool connects veterans, service members, families, caregivers and survivors to care ranging from preventative support to crisis intervention. One veteran, facing PTSD, anxiety and depression, was connected to outpatient telehealth therapy through Check-In. With regular support, she gained the confidence to leave her home and reengage with her life. Face the Fight and the Bush Institute are making it easier for others to take that same first step by offering Check-In as a simple, accessible way to connect to care.
