Healing from injuries after bodily trauma is only part of the struggle some of our patients face. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can also occur in trauma patients. This webinar will help to identify those at risk for the development of PTSD after trauma. Best practices for offering guidance on current therapies to help treat those patients will also be addressed.
