1 Caring for Post Traumatic Stress in Primary Care Co-sponsored by CAMC Health Education and Research Institute Friday, September 19 th 8:30 am 1:00 pm (Primary Care Providers, Behavioral Health, and Support Staff) 1:00 pm 4:30 pm (Primary Care Providers and Behavioral Health) Location: Embassy Suites Charleston, WV Speaker / Instructor: Kevin Polk, Ph.D Clinical Psychologist and PTSD Research Coordinator Join us for a training session designed to introduce primary care providers and staff Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and how it can be used in encounters with patients suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). ACT emphasizes acceptance of internal experience while maintaining a focus on positive behavior change. This approach is designed to address maladaptive avoidance of internal experiences while also focusing on making and keeping commitments. ACT uses a variety of verbal, experiential and homework techniques to help clients make experiential contact with previously avoided private events (thoughts, feelings, sensations), without excessive verbal involvement and control. Objectives Following this course, participants should be able to: 1) Identify common symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) that patients present in the primary care setting. 2) Describe the approach and methods used to implement Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) with PTSD and other common mental health issues. 3) Describe how the primary care provider can use ACT in a brief encounter with PTSD patients. 4) Describe how to use a more in-depth ACT in an integrated primary care setting. 5) Apply the ACT technique with their patients suffering from PTSD. Registration and Fees: Registration and continuing education fees are covered for all of those attending. Please complete the attached registration form and fax/ /mail by September 5, 2008.
