I would like to thank the committee. I promise I'll be as quick as I can.
I had asked my psychologist if she had any information about the new program provider, as she had a lot of experience with other veterans going through what I am going through. She told me she had already attempted to contact the PCVRS for another client, had left voice mails and emails, and had received no reply to her queries.
Last week, I received a letter from the PCVRS telling me that I am being enrolled. I went out for information myself, and all I could find was what limited information was put on the website, but every bit of information I'm hearing says it's going to be more of the same, maybe a little worse.
I want to leave it at this. I'm scared. I'm scared I'm going to be forced into another program that will not help me succeed, and will only put me at new risk. The obscurity in this new contract, and the gradual removal of case managers from the process who, in my experience, have been the only people who truly care about us, leads me to believe that this is just another predatory company taking advantage of a vulnerable group in order to make a profit at the expense of veterans.
Thank you.
