We are the clinicians bearing witness with veterans while they disclose and begin to heal psychological wounds. OSIs have a substantial impact on many aspects of veterans’ lives. Frequently, we work with veterans who have been living with significant mental-health symptoms for years owing to their fear of the stigma associated with such diagnoses, which are often career-ending.
There is an overall lack of program transparency, which has led to more questions than answers, increased distress for veterans, and duplication of interviews conducted by individuals without the necessary training to ask about suicidal ideation or traumatic experiences. Veterans report experiencing increased distress during three-hour interviews, while others are choosing to walk away without help.
While the Canadian inflation rate and prices of office space are skyrocketing, PCVRS has significantly reduced session fees for clinicians while increasing administrative requirements, leading to the potential exodus of those qualified to treat veterans.
