Around the Creative Forces clinical sites, the NEA is creating a community-based military and veteran family support network to provide increased arts opportunities for military and veteran families. These networks will extend support for current and former creative arts therapies patients and their families as they transition from treatment in a clinical setting to arts programming in their community. Community networks will include:
- State and Local Arts Agencies
- Community Arts Programs
- Veterans Networks
- Military Family Support Networks
- Individual Artists
