Assignment:

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) & the Family

Chronic stress of any kind takes a toll on an individual. It also can affect those who care about that individual, including family members. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a particularly difficult form of chronic stress, and it has unique effects on individuals and their loved ones.

Read this article about the effects of PTSD on families (Creech & Misca, 2017).

Create a main post that addresses the following:

Identify at least two pieces of information in the article that surprised you regarding the effects of PTSD on families. Describe them fully and explain why they surprised you.
Describe at least two interventions/coping strategies and/or recommendations identified in the article that you believe would be most effective for helping families cope well with the effects of PTSD on families.
Explain why you believe those would be effective, based on findings from research on stress that we have read thus far in the course. For example, if one is a cognitive-behavioral intervention designed to help a family member change his or her thinking about the loved one's diagnosis, you could argue that the intervention would be effective based on research you may be able to find on the effectiveness of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for relieving stress.
Support your ideas with academic, peer-reviewed sources, such as your readings for the week and/or the sources mentioned in the instructions for this assignment.

Your post should be at least 150words in length and must include citations for the research study that you reviewed. Please use apa citation style (in-text citations and full references provided in a list at the bottom of your post).
