Texas has the second-largest population of former military service members in the nation, with more than 1.5 million veterans. More veterans in the Lone Star State will have access to mental health services as the nation honors Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Awareness Month. That is due to a partnership involving the Emory Healthcare Veterans Program (EHVP), part of the Wounded Warrior Project’s Warrior Care Network. The program is especially looking to connect with post-9/11 veterans and current service members by offering free therapy sessions to combat PTSD and other military-related mental health problems. Since the collective outreach effort launched in 2024, EHVP has seen a 33% growth in phone screens, a 58% rise in intake assessments, and a 103% increase in Texas veterans signing up for treatment.
