Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that can affect anyone who has experienced a traumatic event. In 2020 alone, it was estimated that 13 million individuals were impacted by PTSD. This disorder can profoundly affect daily functioning, and its toll is especially significant within military and veteran communities.

This webinar will explore the effects of PTSD on these populations and dive into evidence-based occupational therapy interventions that support recovery. With its deep roots in mental health, occupational therapy is uniquely positioned to empower individuals in regaining control of their lives, improving their functional abilities, and enhancing their overall well-being.

Join us to discover how occupational therapy can be a powerful ally in addressing PTSD and fostering long-term healing.
