More detail
The Department of Labor and Industry administers a grant program for training providers in nonmedication PTSD therapy. The program funds training opportunities for health care providers. The law provides a one-time $600,000 appropriation from the state general fund for the program. The appropriation is for the two-year budget period beginning July 1, 2025.
The department awards a grant to an organization to run a two-year training project. Training is for health care providers licensed under Montana Title 39 or by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. The project provides training and certification, develops operating procedures, takes part in community planning, and follows up on and reports its results to the department. Reports may include the number of providers trained and patients served, recidivism rates, or other relevant information. Eligible expenses include training licenses, facilitators, meeting space, and travel for staff and trainees. The department reports to the business and labor interim committee by July 1, 2026, and again when the two-year project ends.
