    Licensed Clinical Social Workers ars the largest group of psychotherapy providers in the country. Studies have shown no difference in outcomes when servicess are provided byLSCSW’s or Psychologists. Currently the VA utilizes LSCSW’s to provide a full range of critically needed clinical services. It is confusing to see that LSCSW’s are not included in our search for behavioral health providers. What is the rationale for this?

    More peer support specialists need to be included not only for Addictions but for PTSD MST and Homeless. Addictions and Mental Health is not always in play for Homeless. Sometimes it’s financial.

      I ABSOLUTLY AGREE!
