ON-DEMAND WEBINAR PURCHASE
The occupational therapist’s role in the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is an emerging field of practice with important implications. Understanding how an occupational therapist can be involved in the delivery of evidence-based PTSD treatment and make unique contributions to trauma-focused psychotherapies may facilitate the transition to more consistent interventions, and better outcomes for those who are living with PTSD.
This webinar will discuss current clinical practice guidelines for the treatment of PTSD and review the unique role that occupational therapy plays in the treatment of trauma-focused psychotherapy, including how occupational therapists can support clients to improve their functioning in areas of self-care, productivity, and leisure, to reclaim their lives. This webinar will also discuss how occupational therapists can effectively utilize clinical interventions such as psychoeducation, reactivation, coping skills training, and in-vivo exposure to support clients in their recovery, and how they can collaborate with counsellors and psychologists to provide comprehensive care.
