International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies (ISTSS) 34th Annual Meeting
In-Person Event
Nov 08 - 10, 2018
Washington, Dist Of Col, USAOVERVIEW
International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies (ISTSS) 34th Annual Meeting is organized by International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies (ISTSS) and will be held from Nov 08 - 10, 2018 at Washington Marriott Wardman Park, Washington, Dist of Col, United States of America.
The target audience for this medical event is Psychiatrists, Psychologists, Social workers, Nurses, Counselors, Researchers, Marriage and family therapists, Administrators, Victim advocates, Journalists, Clergy, Public Health Professionals, Policy Makers, Epidemiologists, Economists. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 31.25 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits.
The ISTSS Annual Meeting provides a forum for sharing research, clinical strategies, public policy concerns and theoretical formulations on trauma. It is an international assembly of professionals and students representing an array of disciplines including psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, nurses, counselors, researchers, administrators, victim advocates, journalists, clergy and others with an interest in the study and treatment of traumatic stress. Speakers are strongly requested to avoid unnecessary jargon and to make their work and its implication to the traumatic stress field as accessible as possible to those who do not share their particular perspective and type of scientific approach. This is designed to facilitate increased understanding of what different types of researchers (e.g., basic scientists, clinical researchers) focusing on different types of traumatic stressors (e.g., child maltreatment, disasters, terrorism, war) using different research methods and perspectives (e.g., epidemiology, genetics, psychosocial, psychobiological) have found as well as what the implications of their work are for the traumatic stress field. Our aspirational goal is to establish a jargon-free zone in which experts maximize communication of their work, findings and implications in a way that facilitates understanding and cross-fertilization among researchers, clinicians and policy makers from other perspectives.
Learning Objectives :
Meeting participants will be able to:
• Using patient- and community-centered approaches, tabulate and summarize needs and challenges facing diverse groups of trauma-impacted communities.
• Connect ways in which exposure and response to traumatic stress unfold across societal contexts and structures.
• Strategize for bidirectional knowledge transfer between professionals in the traumatic stress field, trauma-impacted communities, and milieus such as policy and law.
Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
