Fact Sheets for Health Care Providers

This section of the website contains general information for health care providers that do not specialize in mental health, including rescue and recovery workers.

You will find targeted fact sheets on trauma types such as war, disasters and others. We have attempted to cover some of the traumas commonly presenting to health care providers that do not specialize in mental health.

Learn about common reactions following a traumatic experience, including how physical health is impacted. You will also learn about related problems, posttraumatic reactions besides PTSD, which may come to the attention of a health care provider. Use the assessment fact sheets to help you understand how to screen and refer, and read information targeted to treatment during disaster recovery.

See the PTSD Information Center for other general information.
