Bergman Joins Legislators, Veterans Groups to Launch Historic VALOR Coalition
Today, Rep. Jack Bergman, joined fellow legislators, Veterans Exploring Treatment Solutions (VETS), the Navy SEAL Foundation, the Green Beret Foundation, and Wounded Warrior Project announcing the launch of the Veteran Alliance for Legislative Outreach and Reform (VALOR).
This first-of-its-kind national coalition aims to unite Veteran-serving organizations, researchers, and policy advocates to transform mental healthcare for those who have served.
Founding members of VALOR include VETS, The Navy SEAL Foundation, The Green Beret Foundation, and Wounded Warrior Project-each bringing a unique perspective, track record, and constituency to this unified effort. Members of the coalition will benefit from access to research resources, advocacy leadership, and a collaborative network committed to confronting the range of mental health challenges impacting Veterans and their families.
Rep. Bergman noted, "The VALOR Coalition is uniting partners nationwide to deliver real solutions for Veterans facing PTSD and traumatic brain injury (TBI). With more than 185,000 Veterans in VA care suffering TBI, 13 percent diagnosed with PTSD, and over 6,000 dying by suicide each year, it's clear current treatments aren't enough. VALOR is advancing innovative therapies - including breakthrough psychedelic-assisted treatments - while driving research, policy, and access to care. I'm proud to stand with VALOR in their mission to give our heroes the care, hope, and healing they deserve."
