“You may be permanently changed by experiencing traumatic events however, you do not have to be permanently damaged.”

Roger P. Buck, Ph.D.

Hocking College

Overview

Beginning in October 2001 the U.S. government has now deployed over 1.7 million U.S. troops in support of Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF; Afghanistan) and Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF; Iraq). The psychological and readjustment difficulties are the invisible wounds of war that our military veterans must endure. We will explore the scope of mental health, neuro-cognitive conditions, and readjustment problems that previously deployed military veteran students face as they return to our college campuses. We will also explore unique issues military veterans who have not been deployed to a war zone may bring to college campuses.

This Webinar will extensively review the symptoms of post-trauma adjustment difficulties, environmental triggers, assistance and treatment options, useful college services, programs and supports, gaps in services, gender specific issues, and recommendations that will improve academic success of military student veterans. There will be various suggested policy and cultural changes provided that are needed for your campus to be considered as “trauma informed”.

Objectives

Participants will:

Learn PTSD basics
Learn the basic components of trauma and the corresponding human responses
Discuss the various triggers that tend to stimulate an increase in intensity of PTSD symptoms
Explore and discuss the environmental cues to avoid, hence reducing symptom formation
Identify environmental changes that tend to enhance educational success for military veteran students with PTSD on college campuses

Who Should Attend?

All staff and faculty who potentially interact with military student veterans and most especially student services personnel should attend this Webinar. Campus policy makers and leadership officials will want to learn the important variables associated with trauma in order to make informed choices of program and support development.
