A morning CE coffee chat at Insight Behavioral Health Center with Kara Fowler, LPC-S, RD, LD, and Jenni Schaefer.
This presentation reviews what mental health professionals need to know about working with traumatized individuals with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Kara Fowler, LPC-S, RD, LD, will review issues around etiology, assessment, diagnosis, and treatment approaches. Author Jenni Schaefer, a recovered patient with a history of PTSD, will share her story of seeking professional help, an experience that encompasses misdiagnosis, uninformed treatment methods, and, ultimately, the importance of evidence-based as well as alternative approaches. Combining clinical and personal perspectives, this unique presentation addresses the critical issues involved in recognizing and treating individuals with PTSD.
