Resources for Professionals
If you’re a provider or peer specialist who supports Veterans with PTSD, VA’s National Center for PTSD has resources that can help.
Learn how to use AboutFace with your clients
Many providers and peer specialists use this website to help their clients learn about PTSD and learn from other Veterans who have had similar experiences. Not sure where to start? Here are a few ideas:
- Explore common questions that Veterans often ask their therapists about PTSD treatment.
- Use these videos to explain how PTSD symptoms affect Veterans’ everyday lives.
- Share this page to educate your clients about the different types of therapy for PTSD.
