CVN’s Global Expansion: Supporting American Military Families in Asia

For nearly 10 years, CVN has been driven by its core mission: to ensure that veterans, service members, and their families receive the high-quality, accessible mental health care they deserve. We have built a robust network of 22 clinics serving 20 states, caring for over 95,000 clients. Now, we proudly reaffirm our commitment to military families with an announcement of our expansion to Asia, bringing care to American military family members on U.S. military bases abroad.

Working with AAFES

CVN is working with the Army & Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES) to establish five Steven A. Cohen Military Family Clinics in Japan and South Korea. The clinics will be the first of their kind in the region, delivering mental health care to family members and U.S. veterans, DoDEA staff, and DoD CAC civilians, directly on military installations. Care will be provided by U.S.-licensed clinicians, a key distinction of the clinics.

“We are thrilled to be working with AAFES who has been serving the needs of U.S. military families around the world for 130 years. Together, we are bringing accessible, high-quality mental health care on base to complement existing services and enhance support for military families,” says Cohen Veterans Network President and CEO Dr. Anthony Hassan.

Where Are We Going?

CVN is establishing clinics where the need for family support is significant:

Fall 2026:

  • Camp Foster – Okinawa, Japan
  • Camp Humphreys – Pyeongtaek, South Korea

Additional locations to follow:

  • Kadena Air Base – Okinawa, Japan
  • Yokota Air Base – Tokyo, Japan
  • Osan Air Base – Pyeongtaek, South Korea

Empowering Military Families

The Cohen Clinics in Asia will increase options for families with children experiencing mental, emotional, developmental or behavioral issues to serve in South Korea and Japan, ensuring access to the care they need. They will also enhance readiness by addressing mental health challenges faced by military family members and federal employees supporting our military mission abroad.

“Taking care of families is a force multiplier for the military,” says CVN Chairman of the Board Gen. Joseph L. Lengyel USAF (Ret.) “We need every member willing to serve our nation, and making sure their families have access to the care they need is a big part of keeping people on the team.” 

A Milestone Worth Celebrating

CVN’s expansion is a testament to the hard work, dedication, and impact of our network. As we prepare to open the doors in 2026, we look forward to extending our care to meet the needs of military families abroad.
