TRAINING TO PROVIDE THE BEST IN PTSD TREATMENT

During fiscal year 2022, DLC launched a formal partnership with Home Base Florida for enhanced treatment for Veterans. Through the Home Base Florida collaboration, several DLC clinicians received extensive clinical training in evidence-based treatment for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) by Home Base’s clinical experts from Massachusetts General Hospital, the leading Psychiatry Department in the nation. This includes Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), which is considered a “gold standard” treatment for PTSD and other traumas associated with war circumstances.

These outpatient services are provided at no cost to Veterans or military families connecting to care through Home Base Florida.

“I was blown away by the Home Base concept, program, and their future plans,” said Senator Kathleen Passidomo. “When they told me they were going to do a partnership with David Lawrence Centers, I said, ‘Where do I sign up?’”

A press conference was held April 7, 2022, at the DLC main campus to announce the new clinical partnership.
