Complex PTSD guidelines

EMDR Chicago posted these #cptsdawareness guidelines, which are ground-breaking in addressing the major public health problem of childhood/interpersonal abuse and its long-term impact on the health and welfare of the survivors. These guidelines are the foundation of not only trauma-informed care and treatment, but address the vital issue of prevention. These are complex issues, which all of us in mental health, institutions, and societal/political systems need to address. The guidelines show us the way!
