STAMFORD, Conn., March 30, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- This April in honor of the Month of the Military Child, Cohen Veterans Network (CVN), a not-for-profit philanthropic organization that serves post-9/11 veterans and military families through a nationwide system of mental health clinics, is celebrating military children from coast to coast and beyond with #MyMilitaryKid stories, events, and resources. The initiative is in recognition and support of military kids' sacrifices and unique experiences.
Since its inception in April 2016, CVN has provided high-quality, accessible mental health services to more than 23,000 individuals, including children.

CVN is now inviting military families and supporters everywhere to participate in #MyMilitaryKid with a number of opportunities throughout April, including:
- #MyMilitaryKid Stories– CVN has created Month of the Military Child themed social media filters that military family members and supporters can utilize to highlight or show support for military children. Users are encouraged to share stories of resilience, strength and inspiration related to the military children in their lives using #MyMilitaryKid.
- #MyMilitaryKid Events – Steven A. Cohen Military Family Clinics across the country are hosting a number of free, family-friendly events open to all military families such as:

"Military children are at the heart of what we do in support of military families across the country each and every day," says Cohen Veterans Network President & CEO, Dr. Anthony Hassan.

This month, and every month, we recognize and celebrate military kids for their tremendous service and sacrifice."
Designed for military families, Cohen Clinics offer individual therapy for children, adolescents, and teens as well as family therapy and a number of support groups.
