Join us for an educational program for individuals with an inherited bleeding disorder. Dinner will be provided and there is no fee to attend.
The session will introduce the signs and symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and discuss how to assess PTSD in the bleeding disorder community and in chronic health conditions generally. Clinical manifestations in acute and chronic stress will be reviewed. The session includes a discussion of evidence based treatments for PTSD and trauma and when to connect patients to more intensive mental health care. Resources for PTSD and Trauma are shared.
The VHF Medical Symposium will provide consumers with the opportunity to learn more about new and current treatment options, access to care issues and other medical/health related topics.
