- Abstract
Adapting successfully in life involves successful management of stress. Posttraumatic stress presents a significant challenge for successful adaptation, one that is often misunderstood, devalued, dismissed, or denied. This article presents a brief and potentially effective method of group education about posttraumatic stress for "victims" of posttraumatic stress, significant others, and health worker. Appropriate use of group education for posttraumatic stress, it is argued, offers empowering meaning and purpose, and faith and hope for healing and well-being.
