Thousands of and active-duty service members are suffering from conditions originating from their military service.
Census reports estimate that there are roughly 21 million veterans.
Since September 11, 2001, 2.8 million active-duty American military personnel have been deployed to Iraq, Afghanistan, and beyond, leading to increasing numbers of combat veterans among the population.
In 2024, a pilot study looking at treating veterans through the Community Resiliency Model (CRM)®—developed by our team at the —evaluated the impact of the CRM skills on veterans’ behavioral health and daily functioning.
Repeated measure analyses showed that CRM skills significantly decreased distress and increased well-being. Researchers also found strong short-term results for measures of daily functioning with a significant longer-term impact on participants’ ability to control their feelings of being “amped up.”
Most (82%) participants maintained and continued to use the CRM skills daily to weekly and had positive reactions to the program.
Across their analyses, the results of this pilot study suggest that providing CRM training to veterans is a feasible, efficacious, and well-received approach to help address much-needed veteran behavioral health.
