Implementing evidence-based integrative interventions for patients with co-occurring disorders such as PTSD, substance abuse, grief disorders, and moral injuries will also be discussed.  Specific populations to be considered include victims of sexual abuse, family, school, and community violence, and returning soldiers.  Attendees will receive a comprehensive to do list designed to facilitate their level of expertise.
