6 Veteran Service Organizations California Statewide Collaborative (408) or (408) Mission The purpose of the California Statewide Collaborative ("CASC" or "Collaborative") is to be a strong voice advocating for a wholistic, compassionate continuum of services, treatment and care for our service members, veterans and their families. It provides a forum to share information and education, raise awareness, and promote strategic partnerships that will streamline and improve access to health and human services. The Coming Home Project (415) Balboa Street Box 193 San Francisco, California cominghomeproject.net The Coming Home Project is a non-profit organization devoted, since 2006, to providing expert, compassionate care, support, education, and stress management tools for Iraq and Afghanistan veterans, service members, their families, and their service providers. We are an experienced team of psychotherapists, veterans and interfaith leaders committed to alleviating the unseen wounds of war. Our nationally recognized, evidence-based programs address the emotional, social, moral, and spiritual injuries and the family challenges experienced during all stages of deployment, especially reintegration. The Coming Home Project offers a continuum of services, from retreats and psychological counseling to training and self-care for service providers and community education and consultation Give an Hour Our mission is to develop national networks of volunteers capable of responding to both acute and chronic conditions that arise within our society. Our first target population is the U.S. troops and families who are being affected by the current military conflicts in Afghanistan, Iraq, and supporting areas. Give an Hour is asking mental health professionals nationwide to literally donate an hour of their time each week to provide free mental health services to military personnel and their families. Research will guide the development of additional services needed by the military community, and appropriate networks will be created to respond to those needs. Individuals who receive services will be given the opportunity to give an hour back in their own community.
