Discussion:

1. List the traumas that may lead to PTSD. Discuss common symptoms associated with PTSD. Describe interventions for a person who suffers with PTSD.

2. The text talks about the invisible wounds of veterans. Pick one of these invisible wounds and describe it in detail. What might happen if you, as the crisis intervention worker, were not knowledgeable about these invisible wounds? Discuss some of the intervention strategies that are best suited for veterans, and explain why they work. What are some intervention strategies that would not work with this population, and why?
