We met with VAC and came up with a memorandum of understanding on who would be the providers for clients transitioning to VAC, and it's only psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, and masters-prepared clinical social workers. We came up with a common provider list in Blue Cross.
What we try to do in the military, when we know somebody's going to be released, is get them referred to one of those clinicians, so that the transition is smoother when they leave the CF and are then a VAC client.
That helped, but we still have a long way to go in making sure we identify those providers in the community who have the expertise to deal with PTSD.
