History

Since our founding in 2012, Headstrong has been making great strides to solve a simple, but daunting question, posed by a founding Headstrong Board Member and highly successful finance executive, “If I can receive immediately, expert mental health care treatment; why can’t a veteran?” That question led us to develop a program that provides world-class, confidential, individually tailored, cost and bureaucracy free treatment for veterans suffering from the hidden wounds of war. Our answer is not possible without a patriotic and philanthropic donor base that values an increased quality of life for America’s military. This donor base understands the long-term societal benefits of a mentally stable and healthy local-veteran community.

Thank you for considering our vision for veteran mental health treatment and recovery.
