Putting People First in Mental Health
Psychological trauma knows no boundaries: it affects people of every background, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, age, and gender. The impact on people around the globe is significant. According to a 2016 study, over 70% of those surveyed across six continents have experienced a traumatic event.
McLean Hospital is pleased to offer this on-demand course aimed at dispelling long held misconceptions about assessing and treating emotional trauma. Experts from around the world will share the latest updates in the field, including delivering care in low-resource settings and exploring special populations such as the unique experiences of refugees and displaced persons.
When a strong emotional response to an extremely stressful or disturbing event impairs a person’s ability to cope, it’s often considered to be traumatic.
While trauma doesn’t always directly lead to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or other trauma-related disorders, it is beneficial for those who have witnessed or experienced trauma—as well as their loved ones—to know the signs and symptoms of PTSD, ways to treat it, and how to seek help.
Trauma can vary in severity and impact—in fact, approximately one in three people who experience severe trauma also experience PTSD.
Despite its more common association with soldiers returning from combat situations and the horrors of war, PTSD is a condition that can apply to anyone who has witnessed or experienced traumatic, life-threatening, or life-changing events.
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

Ex ea difficultate illae fallaciloquae, ut ait Accius, malitiae natae sunt. Cum id fugiunt, re eadem defendunt, quae Peripatetici, verba. Quod cum dixissent, ille contra. Est autem officium, quod ita factum est, ut eius facti probabilis ratio reddi possit. Ergo ita: non posse honeste vivi, nisi honeste vivatur? Hoc loco discipulos quaerere videtur, ut, qui asoti esse velint, philosophi ante fiant. Sic consequentibus vestris sublatis prima tolluntur.
