One in 11 people will be diagnosed with PTSD in their lifetime - it affects approximately 3.5% of U.S. adults every year. PTSD can occur in anyone of any age, ethnicity, nationality, or culture. The lifetime prevalence in adolescents (aged 13 -18) is 8%, and women are twice as likely than men to have PTSD.
PTSD may occur in people who have experienced or witnessed a traumatic event, series of distressing circumstances, including natural disasters, serious accidents, terrorist acts, rape/sexual assault, historical trauma/war, intimate partner violence and bullying. A person may experience this as emotionally or physically harmful or life-threatening, and this could affect the person’s mental, physical, social, and/or spiritual well-being.
Unfortunately, long after the traumatic event has ended, people with PTSD may continue to have intense, disturbing thoughts, and feelings related to their experience.
This workshop aims to provide an in-depth understanding about PTSD including current treatments and updated research studies on the condition, as well as introducing participants to a meditation method focused on cleansing stressed mind to help relieve the PTSD symptoms.
