Understanding Effects of PTSD

Explore the psychological and emotional effects of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). We'll look at how trauma impacts the brain and body, common symptoms, and the varied ways individuals experience and cope with post-traumatic stress.

In addition to learning about the clinical aspects of PTSD, this session will include a creative component. Art-making can be a powerful tool for processing emotions that are often difficult to express with words. Through a guided art directive, you’ll have the opportunity to reflect on what you’ve learned, explore personal or empathetic emotional responses, and begin translating those into visual expression.

This is a space for insight, empathy, and creative exploration. No art experience is needed—just a willingness to engage, reflect, and express.
