Trauma-focused EBPs are offered by all supervisors; however, some training opportunities will vary based on primary supervisor, training interest, and interest of Veterans. At the beginning of the training year, primary supervisors are assigned with consideration for supervisor availability, trainee preference, and training needs/goals.
Training Opportunities may include:
• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) • CBT Skills for Depression and PTSD Group • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Alcohol and Substance Use Disorders (CBT- AUD/SUD) • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) • Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) • Combat PTSD Program intake evaluations • Drum Circle Therapy Group • Interdisciplinary team consultation • Mindfulness • Moral Injury • Motivational Enhancement Therapy (MET) • Prolonged Exposure (PE) • PTSD Coping Skills • Seeking Safety for PTSD/SUD • Skills Training in Affective and Interpersonal Regulation (STAIR) • Tai Chi Movement Group • Trauma Informed Guilt Reduction Therapy (TrIGR) • Women’s Combat PTSD Group • Written Exposure Therapy (WET) Assessment Opportunities : Interns have the opportunity to observe and also conduct intake assessments for admissions into the program which are modeled after the CAPS. Additional measures used include the combat exposure scale, PTSD checklist-5, CSSRS (suicide risk assessment) and Patient Health Questionnaire-9. Cultural Competence Training: In the Combat PTSD rotation, trainees will work with Veterans across a large age range, from varied ethnic and racial backgrounds, and from a variety of war eras, with most from the Vietnam and recent OIF/OEF theaters. Trainees on this rotation will become familiar with special considerations in working with combat Veterans, gaining insight into military and “warrior” culture and frequently co -occurring issues with alcohol/substance use difficulties, chronic pain, depression, and complications related to TBI. Trainees will gain competence in understanding the barriers that our Veterans have in seeking and receiving treatment, how diversity considerations are critical to case conceptualizations and treatment, and the ways intersecting identity variables, such as race, religion, sexual orientation, education level, physical ability, SES, and cognitive status may intersect with their experience of PTSD and PTSD treatment.
