Our Mission
Whether you are a service member, veteran, military family member, referring professional or friend, military life – especially deployments or mobilizations – can present challenges that are both unique and complicated. Some of these challenges are manageable, and some of them are not. In some cases, these issues get worse and become too much. It is during these difficult times that we should seek help from qualified professionals who are trained in military-specific subjects and can address the special challenges we face as service members, veterans and military friends and families.
Who we Are
Star Behavioral Health Providers (SBHP) connects military service members and their families with licensed behavioral health professionals who have specialized training in military culture and treatments shown to be effective with military families. We accomplish our mission by 1.) developing and administering no-cost trainings in participating states and 2.) adding trained professionals to a no-cost online registry.
