Sometimes the hardest conversation is the one that matters the most. Veteran su***de remains a critical public health issue, with the veteran su***de rate 60% higher than the national average. Fi****ms also remain the most common method of su***de among veterans.

This su***de prevention month, the Cohen Clinic at Hope For The Warriors encourages everyone to and start a conversation that can be lifesaving. Whether it's checking-in with a loved one, asking about secure fi***rm storage, or reaching out if you need help, Ask Anyway reminds us that we don't have to have all the answers.

Sometimes, just showing up and asking the question can be an important first step toward safety, connection, and support.

Supporting children as they process grief is work we approach with care and intention.

Last week, in collaboration with Lower Cape Fear LifeCare, the Cohen Clinic at Hope For The Warriors held our first-ever Kids Grief Camp. Children were divided into small, age-appropriate groups where our clinicians and staff guided them through activities designed to help them express and explore their feelings.

What we witnessed was a powerful reminder of the strength children can show when they’re given a safe space to process what they’re feeling.

You’ll notice a few themes throughout these photos, and we’ll be sharing more about them here in the coming days.

We’re grateful for the opportunity to support children and families in our community during such a vulnerable time. And we absolutely plan to do this again.

At the Cohen Clinic at Hope For The Warriors, we know dogs have a special way of making tough days a little brighter. Here’s to all the good dogs who support, comfort and love their people unconditionally.

We’re sharing a few photos of our staff’s own pups today because, honestly, we couldn’t pass up an opportunity to show them off.

Happy National Dog Day!

Did you know military kids move an average of 3 times more than their peers? That makes goodbyes and new beginnings a big part of life. While military families are especially adept at overcoming obstacles to move forward with the mission, listening to your child's worries during these transitions, without rushing to fix them, helps them feel understood.
