Overview

Mission

To improve the lives of the vast number of adults with ptsd by increasing access to highly effective forms of treatment. We do so by providing affordable, high-quality training in two evidence-based therapies, cognitive processing therapy and prolonged exposure therapy, to clinicians and mental health agencies.

What it reported doing in 2024

We will train licensed clinicians - socials workers and psychologists who work in community mental health in how to practice cpt the best form of therapy for ptsd. These trainings are three days of classroom training (now virtual) followed by 20 weeks of consultation by approved trainers (who are also clinicians.) we pay for this training and consultation so that these clincians will then be able to treat patients who have ptsd. The evidenced based research is that this form of therapy is extremely effective in reducing or eliminating ptsd in patients.
