What is Sunbridge for Warriors?

Sunbridge for Warriors Counseling Service is designed to supplement the counseling services that currently exist in the community and at the Veterans Affairs.

Sunbridge matches Veterans, Service Members and their families in need with volunteer mental health professionals from the community. These therapists from a variety of disciplines donate their time to the Sunbridge for Warriors Program in order to meet local counseling needs of anyone who has or is currently serving in the US Military and their families.

New clients are screened over the phone or in-person to determine the appropriateness of services. Our Sunbridge for Warriors Care Coordinator provides case management support and matches the client with one of the participating Sunbridge therapists specializing in that client's area of need or to the first available therapist in the program depending on the urgency of care needed.

Eligibility for Services

· Must live in Central Oklahoma
· Must not anticipate any court involvement: Counselors are not available for court testimony
