Description
** THE ONLY DEDICATED AND COMPREHENSIVE PTSD COURSE ON UDEMY!** 
** In order to further improve the student experience, there is a free download at the start of every section of this course which contains every slide of all 85 lectures and 100s of helpful internet links to organisations, free-source academic articles, media, self-tests and assessments, etc, keeping the course up to date, even easier to understand & even more engaging! **


The amount of information on PTSD is vast and growing everyday. This course was created to compress the most vital information into a widely-accessible and comprehensive online program that was targeted at everyone, not just academics and those experts working with PTSD on a daily basis. In order to keep it succinct, I have also included an expansive range of external links that will allow you to continue to explore PTSD at the level and depth you require.
Are you ready to take your knowledge to the next level? In this most comprehensive course, you will learn everything you need to know about Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and will acquire substantial integrated knowledge, allowing you to take more control of your own PTSD, support your family or friends with a PTSD diagnosis in a much more informed way, or provide better preventative frameworks and positive interventions for your clients, workplace, and industry…. This course covers all of the important topics you will learn from getting a PTSD education from a University program or professional workplace course.
This course is taught by a highly-experienced University and College Educator with significant real world experience working clinically with people with PTSD, the families of those with PTSD, and consulting with front-line organisations committed to improving the outcomes of their personnel. This includes work within the mental health realm, as well and integrated mental and physical health interventions, and the use of evidence based adjunctive therapies including complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). The frameworks, concepts, knowledge, and resources used within this program closely align with those used throughout my Masters Program at Griffith University (Australia) where I specialised in the areas of disability, rehabilitation, clinical counselling and mental health, with a specific focus on Trauma and PTSD (particularly as it related to military and emergency services personnel and their families).  
Psychological and Mental Health information can be full of jargon and complicated for those who may not have a professional background in this area. I have done my best to keep the course simple and relevant, whilst providing the ability to practically integrate the new learnings into your personal life and/or professional life.
