PTSD is not a life sentence. For PTSD Awareness Day, RTI’s Shannon Blakey, PhD explains what PTSD is, who it affects, and what care can look like. The good news: PTSD is highly treatable. First-line treatments like trauma-focused therapy can be remarkably effective in helping people process and move forward from traumatic experiences.
