In this episode of Untold Valor, we sit down with Grace Caulfield, LPC, and Clinic Director at the Steven A. Cohen Military Family Clinic at Easterseals. With over 24 years of experience, Grace shares how her team provides timely, comprehensive mental health support to service members, veterans, and their families.

Grace discusses how the clinic reduces barriers to care, offers services via telehealth across several states, and focuses on early intervention as prevention. She also explains how trauma can ripple through families and the importance of treating the entire support system alongside veterans and service members.

Don’t miss this powerful message of hope and for a reminder that the difference between illness and wellness is just one word: we. If you or someone you love is struggling, you are not alone.
