Chronic disease in the US alone costs a staggering 3.7 trillion dollars per year, with major contributions coming from chronic pain, cardiovascular issues, COPD, and cancer. While experts sadly predict these trends to continue, there also continues to be mounting evidence of strong links between the development of chronic health conditions, post- traumatic stress, and adverse childhood experiences. Clinicians that know how to effectively help their patients manage the impact of post-traumatic stress are literally holding the keys to chronic disease amelioration in their hands.
This 3-hour interactive course will teach attendees the underlying links between trauma and chronic disease, as wellas immediately effective trauma-informed screening and application tools. Through hands-on labs, students willpractice biopsychosocial interviewing skills and evidence- based trauma-sensitive mindfulness strategies specifically to stabilize the nervous system, reduce re-traumatization, and promote healing. Following this seminar, clinicians will have the knowledge to identify underlying post-traumatic symptomology, effectively educate their patients on why theyshould care, and confidently guide them to improved self- empowered outcomes in the treatment of their chronic conditions.
Target Audience: Physical Therapists, Physical Therapist Assistants, Occupational Therapists, Occupational Therapy Assistants
