Week 7 Treatment Project

You have recently explored the complexities of combat trauma, including the difficulty with self-identification, complicated diagnostic processes, options for treatment, and potential barriers to treatment, among other important areas of concern. Reflecting on information from the course related to the psychological trauma of combat and the treatment options available complete the following assignment. Ensure the plan presented is based upon evidenced based practices established in the field as effective in addressing psychological needs in disaster settings.

Instructions:

Develop a PowerPoint presentation targeted toward combat service members and veterans who are seeking information about treatment options. Drawing on the information learned throughout the course, draft your PPT to present an appropriate treatment option to both the active service member and the combat veteran.
Identify psychological symptoms the service member or veteran might be experiencing.
These should be discussed in plain language, with enough information that the service member and veteran can connect with what is presented.
Select a specific treatment method or model you have researched throughout the course that is appropriate to address the symptoms you describe.
This method does not have to be evidence-based, it can be an emerging treatment method, holistic approach, or a traditionally used evidence-based approach; you are not limited in your selection.
Introduce the selected treatment method, including the following:
A description of the treatment method, its application, and use in active duty and veteran populations.
Ensure explanations of the treatment, how it will be received, and the requirements for treatment participation are clearly discussed. If differences exist for participation in treatment based on status , these should be clearly outlined.
Provide a rationale for the recommended treatment method.
Discuss the reasons this treatment was selected over other treatments.
Discuss the reported results of symptom treatment and management.
Discuss the potential side effects or adverse effects of the treatment.
Provide a pathway; identify the steps to accessing treatment.
For both active duty members and veterans, discuss the various ways treatment can be accessed.
Identify programs, departments, agencies, etc. that can be contacted offering the specific treatment described.
Discuss barriers that may be presented in the process and offer methods to overcome these without becoming discouraged in the process of seeking treatment.
Conclude with your final thoughts on treatment seeking, options available and self-educating on the topic.
In developing your work, be sure to rely upon academic, scholarly sources to support the definitions and recommendations provided. Scholarly sources should be cited both in-text  and on the reference page of the submission. A minimum of six academic, scholarly sources are required to be cited in the work, 4 of which must be peer-reviewed journal articles. Course materials may not be used to meet the scholarly source requirement.
