Dialectical Behavior Therapy for Justice-Involved Veterans
This study is looking at two types of behavioral therapy for Veterans who have been involved with the justice system. One is called Dialectical Behavior Therapy for Justice-Involved Veterans, and the other is Supportive Group Psychotherapy for Justice-Involved Veterans. Both therapies last for 16 weeks and are given through telehealth. The goal is to see if these therapies can help reduce criminal behavior and improve overall well-being for Veterans. You might be able to join if you are a Veteran aged 18 or older with a recent history of criminal justice involvement, like an arrest or being on probation. The study plans to enroll 200 participants, but its current status is unclear.
