Understanding and
Ministering to the Needs of Victims of Terrorism: Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
and Trauma.
The AGTS
Counseling Office will host a Mental Health Brown Bag Luncheon for pastors, counselors,
chaplains, students and those interested in ministering to needs in the community. Bring
your lunch and participate in this discussion with AGTS professor Mark Bradford in room
233, Wednesday, October 3, 12 p.m. For more information, contact Angie Reid (417-268-1085).
The lecture is free.
Post-traumatic Stress
Disorder: Every year, millions of Americans are affected by both natural and human-caused
disasters. Such stressors place survivors at risk of behavioral and emotional readjustment
problems. PTSD is one of the enduring consequences of traumatic experiences. Such experiences
are quite common and have been identified throughout recorded history.
Most disaster survivors
only experience mild, normal stress reactions, and disaster experiences may even promote
personal growth and strengthen relationships. However, as many as one in three disaster
survivors experience some severe stress symptoms, which may lead to lasting PTSD, anxiety
disorders, or depression.
Those who assist survivors
of traumatic events often ask themselves such questions as, “What symptoms should
I look for? What can I do to help?” and, “How should I answer the questions
of children?” If you’ve asked yourself these and other questions, this discussion
is for you.
