Resiliency
After receiving feedback
from the telephonic presentations offered
in a previous column, In
the Aftermath, of the Aftermath, of
Hurricanes Rita and Katrina,
the Academy decided to present this
streaming audio file. It reflects the
Academy's belief that many people, particularly
survivors of traumatic events, are often
receptive to listening to the right
thing at the right time.
The following presentation is less than
five minutes in length. The Academy
welcomes your thoughts concerning the
utilization of this alternative, and
hopefully more personal, mechanism of
communication.

About
The Academy
The American Academy of Experts in Traumatic
Stress®
is a multidisciplinary network of professionals
who are committed to the advancement of intervention
for survivors of trauma. The Academy aims
to identify expertise among professionals,
across disciplines, and provide meaningful
standards for those who work regularly with
survivors. The Academy's Traumatic Stress
Library and publications provide practical
information for survivors of traumatic events
and those who care for them.
Today, our international membership includes
individuals from over 200 professions in the
health-related fields, emergency services,
criminal justice, forensics, law, business
and education. With Members in every state
of the United States and over 55 foreign countries,
our association is the largest organization
of its kind in the world.
The Academy defines traumatic stress as, “the
emotional, cognitive, behavioral, physiological
experience of individuals who are exposed
to, or who witness, events that overwhelm
their coping and problem-solving abilities."
Our mission is to increase awareness of the
effects of traumatic events and, ultimately,
to improve the quality of intervention with
survivors.
Traumatic stress has many "faces.” In
addition to the devastating effects of large-scale
disasters and catastrophes, the Academy is
committed to fostering a greater appreciation
of the effects of day-to-day traumatic experiences
(e.g., chronic illness, accidents, domestic
violence and loss). Our aim is to help all
victims to become survivors and,
ultimately, thrivers.
