Operation Home and Healing
CFR’s Operation Home and Healing (OHH) provides counseling for active-duty service members, members of the National Guard and Reserves, and veterans of all eras (regardless of their characterization of discharge or combat status),
and their spouses.
Specially trained therapists work with service members, veterans, and their families to help heal the invisible wounds on their individual, couple, and family relationships.
CFR’s therapists aim to help service members, veterans, and their loved ones heal and become better partners, parents, and family members. OHH is led by an advisory board of military psychology experts, including CFR’s Lead Military Consultant, Will Barnes, D.Min, MFT, CH, COL, Ret.
CFR offers the following special counseling services for veterans and military families through OHH:
- Therapists with specialized training in military culture and competency
- Counseling to military members and non-married partners with or without the service member/veteran present
- Fees on a sliding scale based on income for clients who choose not to contact Headstrong
- Training for mental health professionals or clergy working with military families or veterans
Video: Learn more about OHH’s founding more than a decade ago.
To learn more about therapy for veterans and military families in PA & NJ, please email the Director of OHH.
Our Partnership with Headstrong
Since 2018, CFR has partnered with Headstrong in PA & NJ to provide stigma-free, barrier-free, and confidential therapy for up to 30 sessions at no cost, and unlimited sessions with a co-pay of $40 per session following the first 30 sessions to active-duty service members, members of the National Guard and Reserves, veterans of all eras, along with spouses and children*, regardless of their characterization of discharge or combat status.
*Spouses and children are treated if the veteran or service member is also a Headstrong client.
