PTSD: National Center for PTSD
PTSD Consultation Program Newsletter
PTSD Consultation Program Newsletter
The PTSD Consultation Program Newsletter is a monthly electronic publication for health care providers who treat Veterans. It is created and distributed by the National Center for PTSD, Department of Veterans Affairs. Each issue describes the upcoming webinar in the PTSD Consultation Program Monthly Lecture Series and includes registration links for free continuing education. It also includes a PTSD-focused article written for providers with links to a variety of free resources to help with treatment delivery, such as patient-education videos and pamphlets.
Every issue also includes a link to the PTSD Consultation Program where any provider treating Veterans in any context can ask a question of our team of experts. We follow up with free consultation about diagnosis, assessment, treatment, medications, common comorbidities, program referral and more.
