THE LIBERATOR AND THE LIBERATED – 75 YEARS POST WWII
November 10, 2021
12:00 pm – 4:00 pm ET.
Over the past number of years that hospice and healthcare providers have learned about post-traumatic stress and its manifestations in patients/families in the care delivery process, there has been little attention or awareness of post-traumatic growth and resilience as a response to significant trauma. This educational program will shed light on this important topic through first-hand accounts of a Holocaust survivor, a Veteran/Liberator, and children of a Liberator. There will also be a didactic session from at noted psychologist and trauma specialist.
Objectives:
- Discuss how personal experiences or history of trauma might present in patients
- Recognize and prevent the inherent risk in medical settings for unintentional loss of empathy towards trauma survivors
- Explore the coexistence of post-traumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) alongside resilience and post-traumatic growth (PTG)
- Discuss how the search for meaning influenced the lives of survivors and liberators of WWII
