IN ORDER TO ENSURE THAT WARRIORS AND FAMILY MEMBERS RECEIVE HIGH-QUALITY CARE IN A TIMELY MANNER, WWP UTILIZES A DEDICATED TRIAGE TEAM THAT PROVIDES APPROPRIATE REFERRALS INTO WWP'S MENTAL HEALTH PROGRAMS. 5,630 TOTAL WARRIORS AND FAMILY SUPPORT MEMBERS (SEE SCHEDULE O)WERE SERVED THROUGH MENTAL HEALTH OUTREACH AND REFERRALS, AND 25,842 COUNSELING SESSIONS WERE DELIVERED TO WARRIORS AND THEIR FAMILIES.

PARTNERING WITH EMORY HEALTHCARE VETERANS PROGRAM, MASSACHUSETTS GENERAL HOSPITAL'S HOME BASE, RUSH UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER'S ROAD HOME PROGRAM, AND UCLA HEALTH'S OPERATION MEND, THE WARRIOR CARE NETWORK TREATMENT MODEL PROVIDES A YEAR'S WORTH OF CLINICAL MENTAL HEALTH CARE DURING A TWO-WEEK INTENSIVE OUTPATIENT PROGRAM. WARRIORS WHO COMPLETE THE PROGRAM HAVE SEEN A SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT IN PTSD AND DEPRESSION SYMPTOMS, TRANSLATING TO INCREASED RESILIENCY AND IMPROVED QUALITY OF LIFE. WARRIOR CARE NETWORK PROVIDES VETERANS WITH A PATH TO LONG-TERM WELLNESS, IMPROVING MENTAL HEALTHCARE TREATMENT TO WARRIORS FOR GENERATIONS TO COME.

IN THE INTENSIVE OUTPATIENT PROGRAM, WARRIOR CARE NETWORK HELPED VETERANS EXPERIENCING PTSD SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE THEIR SYMPTOMS IN JUST 2-3 WEEKS. THE MAJORITY OF WARRIORS REPORTING SEVERE PTSD SYMPTOMS AT THE BEGINNING OF THE PROGRAM ARE PROVIDE EVIDENCE-BASED TREATMENT THAT REDUCES THEIR SYMPTOMS TO A MILD OR MODERATE LEVEL AT THE END OF THE PROGRAM. WARRIOR CARE NETWORK USES CLINICALLY VALIDATED ASSESSMENTS TO TRACK THIS REDUCTION IN SYMPTOMS.
