Extensive research supports the use of prolonged exposure (PE) and cognitive processing therapy (CPT), for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in veterans and service members. PE and CPT have been disseminated nationally across the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) facilities. Many service members and veterans receive care outside the VA where access to these gold standard psychotherapies can be limited. This paper presents a novel program developed to train community providers in the use of PE and CPT and their application to veterans with PTSD through the use of a medium-touch approach to consultation.
