About STAR:
Civilian Professionals. Military Sensitivity.
Service members, veterans, military family members and friends are all impacted by military life. It can present challenges that are both unique and complicated. Often we are able to work through issues on our own, but in some cases these issues can get worse. It is during these times that we should seek help from professionals who are trained in military-specific subjects, and can address the special challenges we face.
STAR BEHAVIORAL HEALTH PROVIDERS (SBHP) is an online public registry you can use to search for behavioral health professionals in Ohio with specialized training specific to the mental health of military service members and their families.
Star Behavioral Health Providers is an initiative of the Ohio National Guard, Ohio Department of Veterans Services, Ohio Department of Behavioral Health, The Ohio State University, OhioCares, the Military Family Research Institute at Purdue University, and the Center for Deployment Psychology.
Star Behavioral Health Providers have an interest in caring for the emotional and behavioral health of service members, veterans and their families. Providers listed in the registry are trained and licensed to provide behavioral health services.
They include Licensed Psychologists, Clinical Social Workers, Professional Clinical Counselors, Professional Counselors, Marriage and Family Therapists, Chemical Dependency Counselors, Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners and Clinical Nurse Specialists. The providers listed in the registry have been trained in military-related topics and how to serve military personnel and their families.
