Published on October 22, 2026

Blue Star Families (BSF), the nation's largest military and Veteran family support organization, and SonderMind, a Veteran-owned and Veteran-led mental healthcare company, today announced its partnership to expand mental health education, localized support and rapid care access to affordable, in-network care for military families nationwide.

"Mission readiness starts at home, and supporting the entire military family is essential to that mission," said OJ Avworo, Director of Military & Government at SonderMind, U.S. Naval Academy graduate, and former Navy Submarine Officer. "It's clear that the challenges of military life, such as frequent deployments and relocation, create unique mental health pressures for military families. By pairing Blue Star Families' reach with SonderMind's clinical network, we ensure military families get rapid, stigma-free access to specialized mental health care."
