The Australasian Conference on Traumatic Stress (ACOTS)

Description

Conference Theme
Trauma, recovery and growth: Advances in research and practice
While trauma may have a severe negative impact on an individual’s life, trajectories that promote recovery and growth are possible. The conference will explore research and clinical advancements in the field of traumatic stress studies which continue to transform our understanding of treatment and recovery for those affected by trauma and its aftermath.
Research into the science of posttraumatic growth further demonstrates that trauma can bring a deeper response to personal transformation. The Scientific Committee has brought together leading clinicians and researchers on trauma, recovery, and growth to highlight advances in the field at the social, biological, and treatment domains.

Clinical Skills Stream
ACOTS2019 will launch a dedicated clinical training stream that will provide clinicians and practitioners working with those affected by traumatic stress a unique training opportunity to refresh their skills in core evidence-based trauma-focused treatments, and be exposed to some of the latest treatment innovations in the field.
