- Description
- 1. Background: The United States Air Force (USAF) is committed to taking care of its own. Our Air Force (AF) members and their families deserve the best support possible. AF readiness targets combat stress reactions, deployment environment and deployment-related stressors. Tailored support of the base helping agencies targets deployment challenges and engages the services of base helping agencies. The AF community is represented by several agencies, one of which is the Office of the Surgeon General (SG), Community Behavioral Health Division (CBHD). The USAF SG CBHD provides military readiness support through management of various programs engaged in individual, family and community health initiatives. These programs include Family Advocacy; Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention and Treatment/Demand Reduction; Education and Development Intervention Services/ Special Needs; and Suicide Prevention. Their objective is to address intervention and prevention strategies for common modifiable behavioral risk factors. The challenge is recognizing the stressful situations of military members; specific behaviors and concerns related to deployment stress. Congress has provided funding through the Department of Defense to the USAF to make available, tailored support, for pre-deployment; deployment; Post-deployment; integration and combat stress reactions. There is an urgent need to provide various forms of early psychological intervention as part of the first response to the traumatic events of pre and post deployment. The Contractor will provide various workshops and consultation and clinical supervision on evidenced-based treatment of Acute Stress Disorder (ASD) and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). 2. Description of Services: This contract will involve the development and delivery of one Outside the Continental United States (OCONUS) three-day clinical training workshop, seven Continental United States (CONUS) three-day clinical training workshops and one four-day master clinician training workshop for military mental health providers (MHPs), which include psychologists, psychiatrists and social workers. The goal of these workshops is to train military MHPs to provide prolonged exposure therapy (PET) for active duty military members with combat-related ASD and PTSD. 2.1 Workshop Materials will be developed that are specifically tailored for the PET treatment of combat-related ASD and PTSD in United States (U. S.) military personnel in both deployed and garrison settings. This will include the creation of workshop handouts, reprints of scientific publications, clinical assessment materials, psychological measures and a provider?s treatment manual. The contractor will provide relevant clinical training workshop and consultation materials during training to each attendee in hard copy and/or electronic media form. 2.2 CONUS PET Clinical Training Workshops: Conduct seven three-day CONUS clinical training workshops and one four-day CONUS master clinical training workshop at the following locations and dates. All costs associated with travel, food, lodging and miscellaneous expenditures are to be borne by the contractor and are assumed to be covered in the agreed upon cost per workshop.

Approximately twenty-five to fifty military providers will attend each workshop and attendees will receive training in the assessment and PET treatment of ASD and PTSD in CONUS and deployed locations. Clinical case examples, including audiotapes of treatment sessions of active-duty military patients with ASD and PTSD who were treated in Iraq, will be reviewed. Attendees will be provided copies of assessment tools and a treatment manual for PET treatment of combat-related ASD and PTSD. The Government reserves the right to readjust the workshop dates in accordance with military and ops tempo demands. 2.3 OCONUS PET Clinical Training Workshop: Conduct one three-day OCONUS clinical training workshop at a hotel in Maui, Hawaii from 31 July 2007 through 2 August 2007. Contractor will be compensated for one rest day prior to the start of the OCONUS workshops to allow for jet lag. All costs associated with travel, food, lodging and miscellaneous expenditures are to be borne by the contractor and are assumed to be covered in the agreed upon cost per workshop. 3. PET Clinical Consultation: 3.1 This contract will involve providing clinical consultation of approximately two hundred military MHPs, which include psychologists, psychiatrists, and social workers, upon completion of a three-day PET training workshop on evidenced-based treatment of PTSD.

Telephone consultation will be used for those providers located outside of San Antonio, Texas. Consultation will be provided for the military MHPs as they begin to see clinical cases (patients) at their assigned medical treatment facility (MTF).
