Topic: Post-Traumatic Stress in the Military: Honoring Those Who Serve
Speaker: Bill Reynolds, PA-C, Director of Military and First Responder Trauma Recovery Program, Sierra Tucson
This presentation will provide a historical overview of military trauma and provide current clinical updates and statistics for those affected by wartime stress. Although PTSD has different origins, this presentation is also applicable for those who treat non-military patients. Attendees will hear about the latest treatment modalities, evidenced-based approaches, and interventions. They will understand the role of integrated care and its impact on the healing process. We will also focus on the positive impact that family involvement has in recovery.
Objectives:
*List three trauma-related therapies that are evidenced-based.
*Define three integrative therapies that assist in the treatment of trauma.
*Explain the role that medication plays in treating trauma.
*Explain the role of family members and their involvement in providing support for their loved one, in addition to their own self-care.

He has several years of psychiatry and addiction medicine experience, in addition to his family medicine background. Bill has a keen interest in working with trauma survivors due to his experience working with Marines and Sailors adversely affected by wartime stress. Additionally, he has an affinity for Sierra Tucson’s addiction medicine clients and is a strong proponent of recovery-oriented modalities to help individuals achieve sobriety.
