- DRAFT STATEMENT OF WORK 1. GENERAL INFORMATION Title of Project: Hypnosis Consultant Services Background/Introduction: VHA Directive 1137 puts forth the requirement that all VA facilities will have available Complementary Integrative Health (CIH) services that are considered List I services. These LIST I services are interventions that have been shown to be effective in treatment of various chronic pain and health conditions. One such required service is Clinical Hypnosis. Clinical Hypnosis employs the induction of a deep state of relaxation and focused concentration by means of verbal suggestions. In an effort to bring Gulf Coast Veterans Health Care System in compliance with this directive, 8 GCVHCS clinical staff members attended the American Society for Clinical Hypnosis (ASCH) Basic and Intermediate Workshops in FY 18. It is recommended that following such trainings, clinicians work with an ASCH Approved Consultant to become proficient in the delivery of the clinical hypnosis modality to Veterans. Receiving 20 hours of consultation from an ASCH Approved Consultant also meets one of the requirement for these clinical staff to pursue certification in the future should they choose to do so. As such, the 8 GCVHCS clinicians being able to gain proficiency in delivering the required service of Clinical Hypnosis will be the result of receiving the aforementioned consultation. Therefore, the Gulf Coast Veterans Health Care system Biloxi requires the services of an Approved Clinical Hypnosis Consultation/Training for 8 GCVHCS Staff Members to be held at the GCVHCS facility. Contractor must be an Approved Consultant by the American Society for Clinical Hypnosis (ASCH) and possess the skillsets for the Veteran Population.

The Consultant will not be providing services to Veterans, but instead will be providing training and clinical guidance to staff psychologists in their implementation of Clinical Hypnosis. The Contractor shall develop learning objectives for the course of the consultation services based upon the learning needs of the GCVCHS Staff participants to build upon training received in the delivery of clinical hypnosis, such that staff report increased competency in provision of these services. The Contractor shall present didactic information to GCVHCS staff members consistent with established learning objectives and which expand upon clinical considerations and case examples specific to providing hypnosis to Veterans.
