Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is highly affiliated with workplace abuse yet sadly, PTSD is often undiagnosed or misdiagnosed by medical and mental health professionals not familiar with the dynamics of workplace abuse. Left untreated, trauma can have a lifelong impact. Please join trauma focused LCSW Amy Ebbeson and learn how to: 1) identify the symptoms of PTSD, 2) detach from the pain, and 3) learn ways to cope in the aftermath of workplace abuse. The good news: there is life beyond abuse.

Amy Ebbeson is the clinical director of Worcester ACTs (Addresses Childhood Trauma). She has a master’s degree in clinical social work from Boston University and has worked in a variety of social service agencies, including the Department of Mental Health. For 17 years, she taught mental health and community health at several colleges including Worcester State University. She currently consults to the Department of Public Health, is the 2018 recipient of the YWCA Erskine Award in Education, and is on the Advisory Board for the Clemente Course in the Humanities.

Join us for a presentation by Amy Ebbeson followed by a Q&A as time allows.
