About the Topic
A VA/DoD workgroup completed a revision of the Clinical Practice Guideline for the Management of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder and Acute Stress Disorder in early 2017. The guideline is based on a complete review of the traumatic stress research literature since the 2010 Guideline and provides 40 recommendations for providers who treat veterans. Because the guideline is new, clinicians are unfamiliar with its recommendations and how they differ from the previous guideline. In order to help clinicians become knowledgeable about the recommendations and to assist them in providing care based on the latest evidence, this webinar will review the process by which the guideline was developed, clearly explain the recommendations related to psychotherapy, and discuss the clinical implications for providers treating veterans.

About us
Lecture Series
The PTSD Consultation Program Lecture Series is a free, live webinar offered on the third Wednesday of every month from 2-3pm ET. Continuing education credit is available for a variety of professions. (Follow the registration links above for more details.) The lectures cover a wide range of topics related to PTSD diagnosis and treatment and common co-morbidities. Relevant recent research is presented and there is a focus on the clinical implications for providers and patients.
This monthly lecture series is organized by the PTSD Consultation Program at the VA's National Center for PTSD. Presenters are generally experts in VA who discuss clinical practice in light of the most recent research.
PTSD Consultation Program
The VA PTSD Consultation Program for Providers Who Treat Veterans offers education, information, consultation and other resources to VA and non-VA health professionals who treat Veterans with PTSD. These services provided are consistent with evidence-based practices for PTSD and VA consensus statements such as the VA/DoD Clinical Practice Guidelines for PTSD.
Our goal is to improve the care available to all Veterans with PTSD regardless of where they access services. We offer expert guidance on general issues that come up in the course of caring for Veterans with PTSD. We cannot, however, provide direct guidance or consultation regarding or assume clinical responsibility for specific patients; any potential liability would be only in accordance with the Federal Tort Claims Act.
To ask a question or request consultation email us at PTSDconsult@va.gov or call (866) 948-7880.
