Morano asks about RTM therapy and better-suited agency for pilot
Morano asks if DVS has encountered veterans who might benefit from RTM therapy. Nicole says DVS believes veterans could benefit but, as a non-healthcare agency, believes the pilot study would be non-feasible for DVS and suggests Health and Hospitals as a better partner.
Have you encountered veterans who might benefit from additional evidence-based therapies such as reconsolidation of traumatic memories?
We believe that there are veterans that can benefit from this.
However, in regards to this bill, since we are not a health care provider, we believe that the pilot study would be non-feasible for us as a city agency, but we are supportive of any benefits that can help our veteran community.
Is there an agency that might better be suited?
We believe that collaboration with health and hospitals could be key for this.
