Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) symptoms abound in veterans returning from the Middle East. PTSD can become a chronic, debilitating condition affecting the veteran, family and community.
The Cleveland Clinic invites you to a day of learning and interactive discussion with four nationally recognized specialists and your peers, united in the concern to meet the mental health needs of people living with PTSD in our nation. The symposium will focus on identifying the optimal treatment strategies for PTSD and Substance Use Disorders (SUD) in trauma survivors, veterans and their significant others.
Psychologists, Psychiatrists, Primary Care Physicians, Emergency Room Physicians, Nurses, Nurse Practitioners, Physician Assistants, Licensed Counselors, Chemical Dependency Professionals, Social Workers, Pastoral Counselors, Ministers and other healthcare professionals who are involved in the diagnosis and treatment of PTSD.
OBJECTIVES
As a result of attending this symposium, the participant will be
able to:
- Identify advanced clinical practices for patients with PTSD.
- Review psycho-spiritual healing techniques and dangers of spiritual abuse.
- Examine the advances in mind-body-spirit interventions for trauma victims from theoretical, research and clinical perspectives.
- Survey the benefits of trauma focused group therapy for PTSD patients and their families.
- Clarify the role of substance use in families’ attributions and affective reactions to their relative with severe mental illness.
- Determine emergent methods for developing and enhancing health care professionals’ clinical treatment of trauma survivors.
- Examine group dynamics, studies and clinical application for health care practice.
