PTSD has impacted members of our society in chronic, yet often invisible, ways. Deeper Walk International responded to recognizing this social stigma by hosting this multi-day conference in 2018 where renowned practitioners could share their tools and best practice resources for mental health front-line care warriors, pastoral advocates, or family members seeking a better understanding and more rounded skillset for meeting this particular need. Each of the 8 sessions builds a comprehensive approach to PTSD care and ultimately a brighter, more hopeful future we can all be involved in creating together.
