One in three U.S. Service Members returning from Iraq or Afghanistan experiences signs of combat stress, depression, post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or symptoms of a traumatic brain injury (TBI).
Only 50% receive their health care through the VA. Other vets and their families will seek care in community settings. Primary care, community mental health clinicians and other providers want to be prepared.
The Red Sox Foundation and Massachusetts General Hospital Home Base Program, in collaboration with the VA’s National Center for PTSD, is providing this free, CME/CE-certified educational series of 14 one-hour sessions to help you prepare. It’s our turn to serve those who served us.
Listen and interact with clinical experts who share research, knowledge and experience to help you:
- Diagnose and treat PTSD and TBI with traditional and complimentary evidence-based therapy
- Recognize and address emotional stresses in spouses, parents, and children of veterans with PTSD or TBI
- Support the needs of military families
Dates: Every Thursday at 11:30 AM ET beginning February 23, 2012
Location: Online; participate in any or all of the 14 sessions, which are also available for on-demand viewing after the live event
Tuition: Free Credits: Up to 1 CME/CE credit per session
