Australian posttraumatic stress disorder guidelines
Home: Workers: Working with Teenagers & Adults: PTSD guidelines
Australian guidelines are now available to help people with acute stress disorder and posttraumatic stress disorder (ASD and PTSD).
The Australian Guidelines for the Treatment of Adults with Acute Stress Disorder and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (ASD and PTSD) were launched on 23 May by the Minister for Veterans' Affairs, the Honourable Bruce Billson, MP, at Parliament House, Canberra.
Approved by the National Medical Health and Research Council, these new Guidelines assist all health practitioners to determine when is the right time for professional intervention and what's the best approach for helping people affected by trauma.
The Australian Centre for Posttraumatic Mental Health developed the Guidelines in consultation with trauma experts from a range of disciplines, as well as people affected by trauma.
CASA was part of the Guidelines development group and is supporting ACPMH in promoting them to its members.
