Training Mental Health Providers in Written Exposure Therapy for PTSD
This study is testing different ways to train mental health providers in Written Exposure Therapy (WET), a proven treatment for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The goal is to find the best way to help more providers offer this treatment to veterans and service members. You could join if you are a mental health provider who serves veterans or service members with PTSD and haven't already completed formal WET training. The study will compare a live workshop and consultation calls to an AI-enhanced web-based training with a tool called TherapyTrainer. Researchers will measure how well providers learn WET and how many patients they treat with it. The study aims to enroll 300 providers.
- Study design
