PTSD Resources at Work: A Toolkit to Raise Awareness

Raising awareness about posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and effective treatments means sharing trusted information. The National Center for PTSD (NCPTSD) is the leading expert in science and education about trauma, PTSD, and evidence-based treatments. The NCPTSD website is a one-stop location for materials and tools to support Veterans and others who have been affected by traumatic experiences, their support system (family and friends), and providers along the path to recovery. This webinar will cover PTSD and treatment basics, highlighting products and tools available on the NCPTSD website that are free to use and share. Specific focus will be given to the PTSD Awareness Month campaign and talking points for librarians and public health educators.
