This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing whether Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)—a self-help approach—works better when combined with peer support from other women veterans, or when used alone. The research focuses on women veterans struggling with PTSD and depression, comparing three different approaches to see which helps people feel better.
Many women veterans suffer from PTSD but may not have access to traditional therapy or prefer to work with people who understand military experience. This trial is designed to find out if adding peer support from other veterans makes self-help therapy more effective and easier to access.

You will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: self-help therapy alone, self-help therapy plus peer support meetings, or your usual care. All treatment happens within 10 weeks. You'll complete three longer assessments (about 2.5 hours each) at the start, after treatment ends, and three months later, plus brief weekly check-ins to track your progress.
