It is important for treatment providers to recognize that traumatic events leave their imprints on patients. The experience of combat may compound the effects of previous trauma. If clinicians don’t inquire about the effects of a traumatic event, many patients will not discuss them. Behavioral Health Treatment Programs and Trauma Issues ? ? ? ? Treatment programs should routinely assess patients for histories of traumatic events and for the diagnosis of PTSD. Treatment programs should offer therapeutic experiences designed to focus on histories of trauma and of PTSD. Treatment programs should be able to screen and access for TBI. Treatment programs should be prepared to address the needs of veterans. “When we forget our warriors our society will begin to crumble.” Sir Winston S. Churchill The Tongue and Quill AFH 33-337 27 May 2015 Air Force Core Values Integrity First, Service Before Self, and Excellence in All We Do. Acknowledgement The Tongue and Quill has been a valued Air Force resource for decades and many Airmen from our Total Force of uniformed and civilian members have contributed their talents to various editions over the years. This revision is built upon the foundation of governing directives and user’s inputs from the unit level all the way up to Headquarters Air Force. A small team of Total Force Airmen from the Air University, the United States Air Force Academy, Headquarters Air Education and Training Command (AETC), the Air Force Reserve Command (AFRC), Air National Guard (ANG), and Headquarters Air Force compiled inputs from the field and rebuilt The Tongue and Quill to meet the needs of today’s Airmen. The team put many hours into this effort over a span of almost two years to improve the content, relevance, and organization of material throughout this handbook. As the final files go to press it is the desire of The Tongue and Quill team to say thank you to every Airman who assisted in making this edition better; you have our sincere appreciation! –The Tongue and Quill Team BY ORDER OF THE AIR FORCE HANDBOOK 33-337 SECRETARY OF THE AIR FORCE 27 MAY 2015 Communications and Information THE TONGUE AND QUILL ACCESSIBILITY: Publications and forms are available for downloading or ordering on the e-Publishing website at http://www.e-publishing.af.mil.
