It's probably outside my knowledge base to discuss how to go about changing the culture of the institutions. I can more accurately address changing the culture around the treatments.
In terms of therapists, research shows that sometimes the way we approach therapy is much more feminine, because women access therapy several times more than men. The agencies we're talking about are largely populated by men, and they don't necessarily address men the way men need to be addressed in treatment. Take, for example, an hour of treatment for a guy who is an RCMP or who is a first responder. By 40 or 50 minutes they're just starting to get into what they've been talking about. They're used to working really hard. In our program, we will work with them for four days straight in therapy, with each other, so they can work hard together.
So that's what I could speak to more, the way therapy is delivered and how cultures are shaped. I actually think the military needs to shape culture the way they do in order to give these guys and gals the best shot at survival when they're in those battle situations. It's getting them out that the military doesn't know how to do. They know how to get them in. When they're in there, they know how to help them survive. They're excellent at it. They just don't know how to help them get out. I wouldn't ask the institutions to be the ones that can allow them to do that, because that isn't their expertise.
