You’ve probably heard the term, but what does PTSD actually mean? Who does it affect? And what does healing really look like? We asked R. Nicholas Carleton, PhD from the University of Regina, these questions and more. Whether you’ve experienced trauma yourself, know someone who has, or simply want to learn more, this episode is for you.

IN THIS EPISODE, WE WILL ANSWER:     

• What is PTSD and how does it manifest in individuals who experience it?  
• What are some common misconceptions about PTSD?  
• What treatment options are available for individuals dealing with PTSD?  
• How can we engage in any emerging therapies or approaches in mental health support that show promise for treating PTSD?  
• What roles does community support play in the healing process for those with PTSD?
