Please join the University of St. Thomas community as we come together in an effort to increase our understanding of Post-traumatic Stress Disorder. The day kicks off with keynote speaker Dr. Bryana French, followed by a series of  breakout sessions on topics related to PTSD, such as an introduction to symptomology, the impact of adverse childhood experiences, evidenced-based interventions, trauma informed assessment, the effects of PTSD on memory and sleep, and the impact of multi-generational trauma on native communities.

Learning Objectives

• Increase understanding of PTSD symptomology, etiology, prevalence, and treatment methods.
• Evaluate how PTSD impacts social, emotional, occupational, and cognitive functioning in the general population.
• Develop a greater understanding of historical, multi-generational, and racial trauma and their impact on members of marginalized populations.
