WEST LAFYAETTE — The Military Family Research Institute at Purdue University announced its selection as a 2014 Wounded Warrior Project grant recipient.
The WWP grant program bridges gaps in services and support for this generation of injured service members by supporting organizations that provide high-quality, high-touch, unique programming in remote or underserved regions. Through teamwork and collaboration, this $250,000 grant will enhance MFRI’s ability to support this generation of injured service members and foster healthy readjustment to civilian life through programmatic activities aimed at training civilian behavioral health specialists.
The award will be used to increase regional approaches to Star Behavioral Health Providers, a program that MFRI first created in Indiana, in collaboration with the Center for Deployment Psychology, the Indiana National Guard and the Indiana Family Social Services Administration.
