Health Net and Michael have aligned in their commitment to honor and support service members, Veterans and their families. A key focus of the Health Net/Barry Michael partnership is to increase awareness and encourage use of behavioral health services, including reintegration support and family counseling. Our joint message is simple: 'You are not alone. If you need it, call in support.'
'Military families experience unique challenges presented by a military lifestyle, such as the cycle of deployment and reintegration, frequent moves and for some, the loss of a loved one; all of which can have devastating effects on an individual and family members,' said Steve Tough, president of Health Net's Government and Specialty division, which includes Health Net Federal Services. 'We are very proud to provide behavioral health services to military families and veterans. Through this partnership with Barry Michael, we want to make them aware of the resources and tools that have been developed to help them thrive in the face of adversity.'
'I deeply appreciate the service of our military members, families and veterans. I am pleased to join with an organization like Health Net that so clearly shares this appreciation and works hard in support of our military members and veterans. Helping to inform them of the many resources and services available to them is the least that we can do for our nation's 'Heroes and Angels,'' said Michael.
Health Net's behavioral health division, MHN, uses its behavioral health and wellness expertise to provide active duty service members, National Guard and Reserve components, veterans and their family members with non-medical counseling and coping skills, financial counseling, proven behavioral techniques and psycho-education to help improve the overall health and wellness of military personnel and families worldwide.
These services are provided by master's level behavioral health practitioners who specialize in counseling on a comprehensive range of military family life issues, including identifying, addressing and preventing domestic violence, treating crisis response and helping deal with post-traumatic stress.
Health Net operates management teams and call center services at strategic locations throughout the United States and administers behavioral health programs at more than 100 military installations worldwide.
The partnership officially kicked off September 17, 2010, at the National Veterans Summer Sports Clinic in San Diego, Calif., when Michael performed for newly-injured veterans participating in the clinic. Other upcoming appearances include the Congressional Medal of Honor convention in Charleston, S.C., and Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS) and veteran service organization events with Health Net throughout the year.
