Veterans Administration Readjustment Counseling Service Counselors' Training Needs: Results of a National Needs Assessment.
Journal of Cognitive Psychotherapy 2024 April 17
The Department of Veteran Affairs established Readjustment Counseling Service (RCS) to meet the mental health needs of active-duty service members, veterans, and their families. A diverse therapeutic skill set is needed to serve this complex population. To assess training needs, a national mixed-methods needs assessment consisting of a survey for RCS counselors and focus groups among counselors, RCS educational trainers, and national leadership was conducted. Survey results ( n = 681) showed that RCS counselors were most interested in trainings on moral injury, acceptance and commitment therapy, and military sexual trauma (MST). Desired trainings aligned with populations served. Themes from focus groups revealed the need for foundational trainings so that all RCS counselors are adept in treating MST, moral injury, and posttraumatic disorder and proficient in caring for couples. Additionally, counselors desired advanced trainings tailored to individual counselors' needs. RCS counselors identified multiple trainings to help them treat those they serve.
