PTSD and Violent Death: Interventions for a New Field

Description

This course provides an overview of the new field of violent death bereavement and its clinical picture. The risk for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and other complications is often under-diagnosed and under-treated. Violent dying accounts for nearly ten percent of annual deaths in the U.S. and twenty percent of our returning military. Ten to 12 additional family members or caregivers are significantly impacted as well. This course covers emerging approaches and resources, along with the need for community based support. Participants learn about a preliminary, systematic model of intervention with a firm theoretical base, which, after a three-year pilot study, shows significant promise.
