Description
PEWeb will be available in late 2024.
PEWeb is an online, interactive training program designed to teach mental health professionals how to implement Prolonged Exposure (PE) therapy. This collaborative site was developed by the Medical University of South Carolina, University of Pennsylvania and the National Center for PTSD.
This web-based course has particular focus on treatment of military and combat-related PTSD, although the principles and methods work well for any type of trauma that results in PTSD. PEWeb includes step-by-step instructions for each component of PE, printable scripts, and video demonstrations with expert clinicians.
NOTE: PEWeb is NOT sufficient training to deliver PE proficiently.
