Join Yvonne Guibert and the Institutes Of Health team on September 24 @ 3 PM PDT, as we welcome our guest speaker Samantha Glovak from the VA Puget Sound Healthcare System for an insightful webinar focused on Chronicity, PTSD and Comorbidities. The panel will unravel the complexities surrounding Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and the chronic comorbidities that accompany PTS conditions as commonly seen within the workers’ compensation system. REGISTER --> https://lnkd.in/gfu-nsSY OVERVIEW: Our esteemed panel of experts is dedicated to advancing care for Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) within the workers' compensation system. This is our second webinar in our 3-part series on chronicity within the workers’ compensation system, which explores the complex relationship between PTSD and its overlapping comorbid conditions. Chronicity adds layers of complexity to PTSD treatment, making recovery more challenging and requiring a comprehensive approach. Beyond persistent symptoms, PTSD often involves comorbidities like chronic pain, anxiety, depression, and physical disabilities, which complicate recovery. Panelists will discuss how these comorbidities prolong disability and reduce the effectiveness of traditional treatments. Participants will learn why a one-dimensional strategy is insufficient and how a biopsychosocial, transdisciplinary model better addresses the needs of patients with PTSD and associated conditions. The discussion will highlight the prevalence of these comorbidities in high-risk groups like first responders and emphasize the importance of incorporating the patient’s perspective in treatment planning. We will also address the limitations of conventional biomedical models and offer practical steps for implementing holistic, patient-centered care strategies. With our expert panel, this webinar aims to challenge and inspire the industry to rethink and reshape how these complex conditions are approached, driving a shift toward more innovative, effective, and compassionate care in workers' compensation.
