Hi to all of STRIVE Followers! We are getting ready to make a huge announcement in the coming weeks. I am giving you a heads up because I want you guys to be the first to know and to be ready to help me take action!

We began in 2012 as the National Center for Veterans Studies as NCVS/STRIVE Utah, then in 2020 we moved to the Ohio State University and started STRIVE OSU with a STRIVE Clinic that specializes in Brief Cognitive Behavioral Therapy developed by our very own Dr. Craig J. Bryan and Dr. M. David Rudd with empirical scientific support for its efficacy in 2014, then again in 2024, & 2025. This will continue.

But starting next month we will begin building a new STRIVE program in a new location that will streamline our much needed services to military personnel, veterans, first responders, and YES their families who may need help with suicidal thoughts and PTSD.

MORE to come in a few weeks!!!

We offer no-cost therapies and various paid research opportunities for service members.

We recently launched two new studies and are interested in video chatting for 1-2 appointments with active-duty members of the U.S. military. Both studies will pay over $300 to any participant who completes all surveys and follow-ups.

Eligibility for each study varies and you do not have to be struggling with mental health yourself to qualify. By participating in our programs, you are helping to make psychological treatments for service members, veterans, first responders, and family members better, faster, and stronger.

Find out if you qualify for either study by using the following links. Please note that both studies use the same 5-minute screening questionnaire, so if you are interested in both, you only need to fill out one and you will automatically be considered for the other.

STRIVE at The Ohio State University is currently enrolling current and former US military personnel into a paid mental health treatment study to compare the effectiveness of two psychological (non-medication) treatments to reduce suicidal thoughts and behaviors. We hope the results will tell us if one of the treatments works better than the other for military personnel and veterans with recent suicidal ideation and suicidal behaviors.
