Cabana Achieves Veteran Ready Certification Through Partnership With PsychArmor

San Diego, CA — Cabana, has partnered with PsychArmor, the leader in military culture training, to achieve Veteran Ready Certification. By taking this step to offer enhanced training for employees, Cabana is demonstrating its commitment to offering a more genuine connection and better support for those in military and Veteran communities.  

“We value our healthcare partners who are actively working to enhance healthcare competence through education and training. Cultural awareness training for providers assists in reducing or eliminating barriers to care,” said Dr. Tina Atherall, CEO of PsychArmor.  

Cabana is a national provider of anonymous, drop-in group support designed to strengthen the mental well-being of military and veteran communities. Led by licensed clinicians and military-connected peers, Cabana delivers real-time, upstream support that integrates with existing care systems. In partnership with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, Department of Defense, and a range of state and local agencies and health systems, Cabana supports more than 1.2 million public service professionals across healthcare, military, veteran, and first responder networks with accessible, culturally competent, and stigma-free care.

Recognizing that the experiences of military personnel are much different from those of nonmilitary personnel, these programs structure their content to address the unique needs and strengths of service members, Veterans and their families, while also ensuring the provision of evidence-based therapeutic interventions.

“As a Veteran and someone who has spent over 15 years working alongside those who serve our military-connected community, achieving this certification is far more than a milestone—it’s an imperative. We know from both lived experience and research that culturally competent care is essential to improving outcomes for Veterans and their families. Yet, too often, this type of care remains out of reach. Our partnership with PsychArmor represents Cabana’s commitment to closing that gap and delivering the quality, culturally attuned mental health support our military community deserves.”  Nick Armstrong, Ph.D., Head of Public Sector

As a nationally recognized nonprofit leader and preferred training provider for military cultural awareness, PsychArmor serves members of the military-connected community and anyone who wants to more effectively engage with them. Their team of clinical psychologists and social workers, all steeped in military culture, create learning journeys, from continuing  education to customized training, including online courses, curricula, podcasts, webinars, live speaking engagements, and social media.
