Event information:
Did you know that post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can cause problems with memory, attention, learning, and day-to-day activities? These changes can affect a person’s ability to benefit from mental health treatments. They can also make it difficult to successfully stay at work, return to work, or enjoy retirement.
This webinar shared our findings on the benefits of Goal Management Training™ (GMT). This treatment has been shown to be effective in improving brain function in many populations, including military members, veterans, and public safety personnel with PTSD.
Objectives:
- Learn about how GMT works to improve brain function
- Explore how GMT can be adapted to meet the needs of veterans and public safety personnel with PTSD
- Learn about our research on the use of GMT among veterans at a Canadian Operational Stress Injury clinic
