Honoring Service, Supporting Mental Health: 20% Off Individual Therapy & Medication Management Appointments for Service Members, Veterans, and their Immediate Families
At Gladstone Psychiatry and Wellness, our mission is to make high-quality, person-centered mental health care accessible to our community and the brave individuals who have served our country. The mental health crisis among veterans is urgent—recent studies show that 22-24 veterans die by suicide each day, with 18-20 more lost to self-harm or injury. At Gladstone, we believe no service member, veteran, or their loved ones should struggle alone.
To honor these heroes and provide meaningful support, we are proud to offer 20% off self-pay rates for individual (non-DBT) therapy and medication management for service members, veterans, and their immediate families.
As part of Maryland’s Mission: Ask the Question, we are also encouraging individuals and providers alike to engage with veterans more meaningfully by simply asking, “Have you or a family member ever served in the military?”
Understanding the Mental Health Challenges of Military Life
Military service creates unique mental health challenges that can affect not only service members but their entire families. The demands of military life—including deployment, combat exposure, frequent relocations, and the challenge of reintegrating into civilian life—can take a significant toll on mental well-being. These experiences can lead to conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, anxiety, and substance use disorders.
For military families, the impact is equally profound. Spouses navigate the stress of managing households alone during deployments while supporting their partners through transitions and potential trauma. Children of service members often face their own challenges, including anxiety about their parent’s safety and the difficulties of frequent moves and school changes.
The Role of Mental Health Providers in Suicide Prevention
Mental health providers play a crucial role in preventing suicide among military service members, veterans, and their families. By understanding the unique cultural aspects of military life and the specific challenges faced by this community, providers can:
- Recognize early warning signs of mental health struggles
- Provide evidence-based treatments tailored to military-related trauma
- Create safe spaces for veterans to discuss their experiences without judgment
- Help families develop coping strategies and support systems
- Connect clients with additional military-specific resources and support networks
The Power of Asking the Question
Maryland’s “Ask the Question” campaign highlights a simple yet powerful tool in suicide prevention. By asking about military service, healthcare providers can better understand their patients’ experiences and risks, leading to more effective and targeted care. This question opens the door to conversations about mental health and connects veterans with specialized resources they might not know exist.
