“Learn, connect, and share”—that’s the theme of this year’s VA PTSD awareness campaign. The campaign is focused on online materials about how posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) treatment can help and encourages the general public to reach out to someone and share the information. The VA National Center for PTSD website (http://www.ptsd.va.gov/about/PTSD-awareness) offers a number of resources to help with that mission:
- PTSD Coach Online and the PTSD Coach mobile app, providing strategies to manage symptoms
- AboutFace, a video gallery of veterans talking about how treatment can turn lives around
- Whiteboards, short animated videos to learn about PTSD and effective treatments
Providers will also find continuing education and CME opportunities, such as PTSD 101 courses and the PTSD Monthly Update, offering the latest information about PTSD and trauma.
