Talk it Out: Post Traumatic Stress (PTSD)

Even though PTSD is often times associated with soldiers and their experience on the battlefield, research shows that 7.8% of the entire population will suffer from PTSD at some time in their lives. Children, teens, and adults are all people at risk of developing PTSD after experiencing a life-threatening experience or being in a situation where they may have to deal with a parent or loved one who has been diagnosed with PTSD.
This program helps viewers to recognize the warning signs and symptoms of PTSD, understand the available treatment options and how to support the treatment and healing process. Students will learn that experiencing any life-threatening event can cause PTSD and that it can develop over time in firefighters, soldiers, and other first responders.
