Abstract:The push for mental health counselor representation within Veterans Health Administration facilities and their request for community mental health provider support necessitate increased counselor training with military populations. A literature review showed a lack of guidelines addressing appropriate counselor training and supervision to treat military service-related posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) issues. To address the call for research into the preparation of counseling students to work with PTSD-diagnosed military populations, this dissertation sought to develop a training curriculum consensus for entry-level clinical mental health counselors to work with PTSD-diagnosed service members and veterans. This study uses a Delphi research method to explore the experience of military counseling experts. This Delphi study consisted of three rounds, with up to 13 expert panelists answering each round. The guiding research questions informed the Round One questionnaire asking expert panelists about curriculum components, placement of components in the CACREP curriculum, internship experiences, and supervision. The two following rounds utilized curriculum component statements developed from Round One responses. Participants rated the appropriateness of each of the developed curriculum component statements. A total of 106 statements met consensus through three complete Delphi rounds. Further discussion addresses the results and implications for counseling programs, counselor educators, and supervisors. This study concludes with limitations and suggestions for future research related to training entry-level counselors to work with PTSD-diagnosed service members and veterans.
