Opportunity for Mental Health Clinicians: Project (On-line User Training for Intervention in Trauma) OUTFIT
Mental health clinicians have an opportunity to take part in Project OUTFIT, a PTSD training study based at the National Center for PTSD (U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs). This research project is investigating the impact of different delivery methods of a state-of-the art skills training curriculum for addressing trauma. Community-based mental health providers who have treated at least one veteran with stress-related issues in the past year are invited to enroll in the study. Participants receive free training in one of three formats, and will take part in an online survey and mock phone session at three time points (baseline, 3-month, and 6-month). Five continuing education credits will be issued for completion of the training (see letter for specific accreditations).
