KNOW MORE - PTSD Educational Conference
20 veterans die by suicide - EVERY DAY. Studies have documented the association between post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and veteran suicide.
The good news is that PTSD treatment works. The bad news is that many veterans do not seek or receive the treatment they need. One reason for this is the silence that surrounds PTSD. The silence is killing our veterans, and others, with PTSD. Through education, dialog and understanding, we can shatter the silence.
This conference is your opportunity to learn, engage and help by reducing the stigma associated with PTSD. Become familiar with what PTSD is, what it is not, how it affects lives, the resources and tools available, and how they can and do create real and positive change.
SPEAKERS: Ginger Meyer, LCSW, SIU School of Medicine; John Mundt, Licensed Clinical Psychologist; Beth Morrison, Director of Wellness Center, SIU Carbondale; Behesha Doan, Founder and Training Director, This Able Veteran; Paul Copeland, Veterans Services, SIU Carbondale; and more.
