About the Topic
The prevalence of PTSD is elevated in those suffering from
chronic pain, and this is even more true among the Veteran population. Despite
this, providers receive little guidance on how these comorbidities may be
conceptualized and treated most effectively. Common reactions to these
conditions suggests that addressing factors that may mutually maintain both
chronic pain and PTSD may be beneficial. This presentation will provide
foundational knowledge about these diagnoses and how they can be addressed by
clinicians using evidence-based treatment approaches.

 About us
Lecture Series
The PTSD Consultation Program Lecture Series is a free,
live webinar offered on the third Wednesday of every month from 2-3pm ET.
Continuing education credit is available for a variety of professions. (Follow
the registration links above for more details.) The lectures cover a wide
range of topics related to PTSD diagnosis and treatment and common
co-morbidities. Relevant recent research is presented and there is a
focus on the clinical implications for providers and patients.
This monthly lecture series is organized by the PTSD Consultation Program at the VA's National Center for PTSD. Presenters are generally experts in VA who discuss clinical practice in light of the most recent research.
PTSD Consultation Program
The VA PTSD Consultation Program for Providers Who Treat Veterans offers education, information, consultation and other resources to VA and non-VA health professionals who treat Veterans with PTSD. These services provided are consistent with evidence-based practices for PTSD and VA consensus statements such as the VA/DoD Clinical Practice Guidelines for PTSD.
Our goal is to improve the care available to all Veterans with PTSD regardless of where they access services. We offer expert guidance on general issues that come up in the course of caring for Veterans with PTSD. We cannot, however, provide direct guidance or consultation regarding or assume clinical responsibility for specific patients; any potential liability would be only in accordance with the Federal Tort Claims Act.
To ask a question or request consultation email us at PTSDconsult@va.gov or call (866) 948-7880.
