Risk Management & Cell Phone Use
"Company cell phone policies should apply to both company issued call phones and private cell phones. In addition, if private cell phone use on personal matters (whether through a company issued cell phone or with a privately owned cell phone) are prohibited, that prohibition should be clearly stated. Moreover, if company issued cell phones are turned in by departing employees to be 'recycled' to other employees, it would be prudent for the employer to ensure that no private information or e-mail accounts remain on the company's cell phone before recycling the cell phone to other employees." Read more From the January 2014 issue of the LIBA newsletter.

In the 2013 BH/CYS/OTP Standards Manuals, the relevant CARF standards are 1.J.1 (Technology) and 1.G.1 (Risk Management). |

Support Informed Choice
Military personnel and veterans deserve a choice of treatment for PTSD. Current treatment of PTSD at VA and DoD facilities is usually limited to two therapy methods.
Civilians with PTSD have more therapy choices than military personnel and veterans with PTSD. Sign this petition to advocate that all VA and DoD facilities provide trained clinicians who offer military personnel and veterans informed choice of the four recognized, evidence-based PTSD treatments:
* Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)
* Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
* Prolonged Exposure (PE)
* Stress Inoculation Training (SIT)
Click here for more information and to sign the petition.
