Non-combat-related PTSD counseling offered
by John Archiquette
VA Southern Nevada Health Service
The VA Southern Nevada Healthcare System now offers a counseling program geared toward Veterans suffering stress disorders from non-combat-related events.”
The Non-Combat PTSD Program began at VASNHS in March and is a 16- week course, which provides both group- oriented therapy sessions and individual therapy for veterans suffering the effects of post-traumatic stress disorder from a wide range of traumatic activities not related to combat.
“The program, as run here, is unique to this facility and the classes and manu- als were developed locally,” said Steven Fisher, a VASNHS clinical social worker who manages the program.
According to Fisher, the new program covers seven specific skills to address trauma symptoms, including stress, sleep, intrusive thoughts, negative think- ing patterns, problem-solving, anger, and communication.
