DVA patients on the Waitlist

There are long wait lists to see local psychologists at the moment.  Open Arms have put out a tool for veterans, the DVA High Res SMART tools, that may be a helpful resource while patients are on a waitlist.

Ben is a Mental Health Peer Support Worker and veteran who is passionate about young veteran mental health.  He is operating in a volunteer, phone-consult capacity, with PsychLab, to check in with patients while they are on the waitlist.

This is not a treatment program.  It is a peer guiding the patient to access an online tool. 

​This program will run from January to July 2022, with the view of extension if viable.

Ben is supervised by a supervising psychologist.
