Vertava Health partners with PsychArmor to ensure their team is Veteran Ready  

MEMPHIS, Tenn (August 7, 2023) —  Vertava Health, a substance use disorder and co-occurring mental health treatment provider, 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, Vertava Health 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.  

Vertava Health and UpArmor Recovery is a premiere addiction treatment provider located in the greater Memphis area. Our team of master’s level therapists provides a comprehensive program designed specifically to meet the needs of our veterans and active military members. Our program includes services from medical detoxification to intensive outpatient with boarding. The full continuum of care allows men and women to get treatment wherever they are in their recovery journey.

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 servicemembers, Veterans and their families, while also ensuring the provision of evidence-based therapeutic interventions.  

“When a veteran or their loved ones puts their trust in us to treat their servicemember, we don’t take that mission lightly. We want to make sure we are offering the type of program these heroes deserve which is why we are learning every day new ways to treat their needs,” said Brett Martin, Associate Vice President of Market Development for Vertava Health. “It is an honor every day to serve those who served, and we must not forget that.” 

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.
