SCOUTT Webinar

This month, the SCOUTT Initiative had the pleasure of hosting Dr. Ajay Manhapra, MD of the Hampton VA Medical Center. In his presentation titled “Trauma-Informed Care for Patients with Chronic Pain and Addiction,” Dr. Manhapra explored the intricate connections between trauma, PTSD, chronic pain, and addiction in Veterans. He shed light on the high prevalence of PTSD among Veterans with chronic pain and addiction issues and provided practical guidelines for implementing trauma-informed care and PTSD treatment. If you missed the presentation or would like to revisit its key points, a recording and the accompanying slides are available on the SCOUTT SharePoint. For assistance, please contact spencer.calder@va.gov. Please note that access to the VA intranet is required to view the SCOUTT SharePoint.
