The implementation of ATSM, along with traditional emergency medical intervention, offers a comprehensive response strategy to meet the needs of the "whole person." By reaching people early, during traumatic exposure, we may ultimately prevent acute traumatic stress reactions from becoming chronic stress disorders. ATSM offers "practical tools" for addressing the wide spectrum of traumatic experiences — from mild to the most severe. It is a goal-directed process delivered within the framework of a facilitative or helping attitudinal climate. ATSM aims to "jump-start" an individual's coping and problem-solving abilities. It seeks to stabilize acute symptoms of traumatic stress and stimulate healthy, adaptive functioning. The Academy offers a 20% discount for orders over 25 copies of Acute Traumatic Stress Management.
