As part of Hospice of Dayton’s American Pride veteran care program, area healthcare professionals, veteran’s service organizations and faith communities are invited to attend an educational program on “Veteran’s PTSD – Exploring the Art & Science of Healing Strategies at End-of-Life.” The program is presented in collaboration with the Dayton VA Medical Center and provides CEU credits for healthcare professionals.

His address will focus on “Honoring Our Stories.” He will also lead a session on “Holistic and Complementary Interventions for Veterans and Caregivers.”

Edgardo Padin-Rivera, a psychologist with the Cleveland VAMC, has presented widely on the topic of PTSD and will address “Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome & End-of-Life Concerns” as well as “Evidenced Based Psychotherapies for PTSD.”

The program also includes a presentation by Kenny Carnes, actor and storyteller, who holds a Master of Arts degree in Holistic Counseling and has ten years of leadership experience as an army officer, corporate consultant and small business owner. His “Pieces of War” presentation involves storytelling about the veteran experience. He will also lead discussion on “Psychosocial & Emotional Aspects of PTSD: Processing Psychodrama.

The program is scheduled for Tuesday, November 8 at the Hope Hotel and Conference Center, Wright Patterson Air Force Base.
