About the January 20 forum
Trauma exposure is common and can lead to various mental health problems, such as the development of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The aim of this forum is to discuss the use of Skills Training in Affective and Interpersonal Regulation (STAIR) Narrative Therapy, in the treatment of PTSD. Dr. Marylene Cloitre, one of the developers of STAIR Narrative Therapy, will discuss the rationale for the development of the treatment, provide an overview of the treatment components, discuss the use of STAIR Narrative Therapy in different populations (e.g., military) and the use in different settings (e.g., telehealth). Following Dr. Cloitre’s presentation, attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions in a Q&A.
