Access – Connecting Service Members and their Families to Behavioral Health Professionals in their Community

CSSP works with public and private organizations to increase access to trained behavioral health providers. One of CSSP’s most powerful tools in this mission was the www.warwithin.org database which enabled veterans and family members to find local civilian health providers who understand the challenges of deployment-related issues such as post-traumatic stress disorder, traumatic brain injury, depression, substance use disorder and suicide. To address the concern that a reservist might have a lapse in care during the deployment cycle as they switch from civilian to military health insurance, www.warwithin.org allowed users to search for providers who accept patients with different types of insurance, or no insurance at all.  CSSP had registered providers in all 50 states.
