Alisha Henson, a supervised clinical psychologist, says she does not know what to tell veterans about what effect a new contract for veteran rehabilitative services will mean for their treatment. - Contributed - Alisha Henson The clinicians say a letter of understanding issued to clinicians by Lifemark failed to consider the importance of building a relationship of trust with veterans and prioritized speedy administration over a “client-centred approach.”Henson said the Lifemark letter required clinicians to complete assessments of veterans within 4 to 6 hours. Previously, Veterans Affairs Canada had allowed psychotherapists up to 15 hours to write an initial assessment.
Lifemark has informed providers in Ontario that their hourly psychotherapy rate is $160, a lower rate than has been previously offered by VAC.
