Star Behavioral Health Providers (SBHP) is a resource for veterans, service members and their families to locate behavioral health professionals with specialized training in understanding and treating military service members and their families. Those listed in this registry have completed a series of trainings that are intended to make them better able to understand, assess and counsel members of the military. Military service can bring stress not just for service members, but also for families, friends and neighbors. Deployment, reintegration and combat injuries common today can add to the mental and emotional strain. And when those stresses do occur, it is not always easy for those affected to know where they can turn for help. To address that need the Michigan Army National Guard, the Human Development and Family Studies department at Michigan State University, the National Guard Bureau, Psychological Health Program, the Military Family Research Institute at Purdue University, and the Center for Deployment Psychology have collaborated to implement the SBHP in Michigan. SBHP is a registry that helps services members and those who care about them locate civilian behavioral health professionals with special training to understand and deal with military issues. For consumers and referring professionals, SBHP houses a unique registry where they can confidentially filter through a list of civilian health providers who have completed particular levels of educational training related to the military. For clinicians, SBHP is a comprehensive resource through which they can gain the training to serve those who serve our country.
