Frequently Asked Questions

Warrior Care Network is an accelerated brain health program that condenses over 50 hours of treatment in two weeks using a cohort model. This is not an inpatient program. Treatment times are generally 8 am – 5 pm, with some weekend and evening activities. Providers will work with you to develop an individualized care plan.

Treatment is confidential. Warriors have the option to have care coordinated at their local Veterans Affairs (VA) health clinic.

Warrior Care Network aims to ensure that the appropriate academic medical center is selected for warriors based on needs, interest, availability, and clinical appropriateness. A WWP mental health teammate will help to make this decision to ensure you are receiving the most tailored treatment for your needs.

Get started by contacting the WWP Resource Center at 888.WWP.ALUM (997.2586) or 904.405.1213, or by email at resourcecenter@woundedwarriorproject.org. You do not need to be registered with WWP to contact the WWP Resource Center.

After you’ve completed Warrior Care Network, your treatment team will create a post-program care plan, which includes resources in your community.

Family participation opportunities vary based on location and program. We understand that family members, caregivers, and companions are a big part of the healing process and are encouraged to participate.

There is no cost to program participants.

Insurance is not required. However, if a participant has insurance, his or her health plan may be billed for clinical services. This allows Warrior Care Network funds to be used in treating as many veterans as possible.

Any cost not covered by insurance will be covered by Warrior Care Network (i.e., no co-pays will be collected).

Warrior Care Network would not have been made possible without the generosity of thousands of WWP supporters and the affiliate academic medical centers, and more is needed in future years to guarantee the success of this much-needed public/private partnership.

WWP has a Benefit Services team that can answer your concerns regarding your specific benefits. Our team will connect you with a National Service Officer, as needed.

Warrior Care Network is one of a variety of veteran programs and services to help you take the steps that are right for you, including programs for physical and mental wellness, career transition, and support in obtaining benefits for disabled veterans from the VA.

Other mental health programs include Project Odyssey, a 12-week mental health program that uses adventure-based learning, and WWP Talk, a nonclinical, telephonic goal-setting program. Additional resources for navigating TBI, PTSD, and other invisible wounds are available.
