Tai Chi therapy is being researched as a potential treatment for veterans experiencing PTSD. The techniques used in Tai Chi therapy aim to reduce stress, anxiety, and anger through slow, controlled movements and deep breathing. Healthcare workers can apply these techniques to help patients manage PTSD symptoms. Nurses are well-positioned to screen veterans for PTSD using tools like the PTSD Toolkit for Nurses, which provides guidance on assessment, intervention, and referral for treatment.

PTSD
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a biopsychological condition associated with very stressful or life-threatening events such as abuse, rape, violence, military combat, severe accidents, and natural disasters. Symptoms include having intrusive thoughts about or reliving the event(s), withdrawing from others, and experiencing anxiety or hyperarousal for weeks or months following the event(s). People with PTSD may turn to drugs or alcohol to help them cope, they may exhibit signs of depression, their relationships may deteriorate, and they may manifest physical symptoms.
PTSD has been studied intensiv ...
A disorder characterised by failure to recover after experiencing or witnessing a terrifying event.
The condition may last months or years, with triggers that can bring back memories of the trauma accompanied by intense emotional and physical reactions.
Symptoms may include nightmares or flashbacks, avoidance of situations that bring back the trauma, heightened reactivity to stimuli, anxiety or depressed mood.
Treatment includes different types of psychotherapy as well as medications to manage symptoms.

After experiencing a traumatic event or experience, it is normal and natural to feel anxious, sad, frightened and disconnected. But if this upset does not fade and the affected person feels stuck with a constant sense of painful memories and danger, then they may be suffering from post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It may look like one will never get over what they experienced and go back to their normal self again. But through developing new coping skills, reaching out for help and seeking treatment, one can overcome this condition and move on with their life. Most veterans have a hard time readjusting back to their lives. They are always on the edge, at all times on the verge of exploding or panicking or on the flip side and feeling disconnected from their loved ones and emotionally numb. Most veterans think that they will never feel normal again. These are the lingering symptoms of post traumatic stress disorder. It is very hard to live with PTSD that is untreated and with prolonged V.A wait times; it is easy to be discouraged (National center for PTSD, 2009). But it is possible to feel better and it only start with you even when waiting for professional treatment. There are things that one can do to themselves to overcome PTSD and come out of the other side even stronger than before.
(b)
After experiencing a life threatening event or a severe trauma, many veterans build up symptoms of post traumatic stress disorder. Almost 30 percent of the veterans treated in most clinics and hospitals have been diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder. For the veterans who saw combat, the numbers are even higher with one pew research centre study showing a rate of 49 percent of post traumatic stress disorder. But however emotionally cut off or isolated from others you may feel, it is important to know that you are not alone. The reason why some veterans develop this disorder while others do not is not known, but it is known that the number goes up with the number of trips gone and the amount of combat one has experienced. This is not astonishing, bearing in mind that many symptoms of post traumatic stress disorder such as adrenaline quick reflexes, hyperawareness and hyper vigilance helped the veterans survive when they were deployed. It’s only that now these individuals are back home and these responses are no longer suitable or applicable.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

became a source of conflict between him and his wife. In 2007, Mr. H deployed for a third
time. When he began training exercises to prepare for deployment, his nightmares returned,
and he was unable to shake off memories of his combat experience. He was also unable to
sit through the training and lashed out at the commanding officer. Mr. H was having trouble
getting to sleep and soon found he could not perform his job. ? Military personnel Mr. H’s
story is typical of a military person who develops posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
from traumatic experiences during military service. Nearly two-thirds (62%) of the 2.2
million troops that served in Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan and Operation
Iraqi Freedom in Iraq were exposed to serious training accidents, such as vehicle or
helicopter crashes, coming under fire, or suffering from wounds caused by an IED, physical
violence, or sexual assault.1 In 2011 alone, nearly 1 million service members or veterans
received a diagnosis of at least one psychological condition while they were active service
members, and half of them had two or more psychological conditions diagnosed.2 PTSD is
just one of many psychological consequences of war; other conditions include adjustment
disorders, depression, anxiety disorders, and substance use disorders. Signs and symptoms
of PTSD or other psychological conditions are difficult to recognize, and veterans with these
symptoms experience major barriers to reintegrating into society or the work force.2
Veterans may be stoical and not easily share their symptoms. Unfortunately, delays in
receiving help are common and raise the risk of negative consequences. With much stigma
attached to mental illness, individuals with psychological problems tend to hide their
conditions because they feel shame or guilt.3 Tai Chi Therapy Veterans Ptsd Treatment
Nursing ResearchTherefore, nurses need to be alert to patients who have served in the
military so as to properly assess their stress responses and need for help. Consequences of
untreated psychological conditions affect service members and their families alike, with the
degree of hardship and negative consequences increasing with the number of the service
member’s exposure to traumatic or life-altering experiences.3,4 One dire statistic—a
veteran commits suicide every 65 minutes— suggests that veterans need assistance. 4,5
Psychological conditions resulting from experiences during military service or adjusting
from military life to civilian life are treatable. Veterans and their families need to fi nd help
early. www.tnpj.com ? Nurses have impact RNs are the single largest group of healthcare
professionals and work in all areas of healthcare.6 All RNs, including NPs, meet active
military service members and veterans in healthcare or community settings, such as
churches, grocery stores, or social groups. RNs are in a unique position to make a difference
in the lives of these men and women. First, the nurse must ask if the patient has served. In
civilian dress, it is often not obvious that an individual served in the armed forces. Once
identified, the RN assesses for psychological symptoms of stress and trauma, determines the
severity of the symptoms, intervenes, and refers the individual for help. RNs have the
opportunity and position to help change the lives of service members and their families who
experienced psychological trauma and continue to experience symptoms that disrupt their
work or social lives. The PTDS Toolkit for Nurses is a self-directed online resource designed
to teach or reinforce the nurse’s knowledge about the treatment of veterans with PTSD. The
PTSD Toolkit for Nurses (www.nurseptsdtoolkit. org), sponsored by the American Nurses
5. needs further evaluation for PTSD. The symptoms of PTSD must be present for at least 4
weeks and the symptoms must cause a significant disruption in the individual’s ability to
work or function in social environments.10 For example, sleep disturbances may cause an
individual to oversleep and be late for work, resulting in poor work performance,
irritability, or angry outbursts.Tai Chi Therapy Veterans Ptsd Treatment Nursing
ResearchOften, PTSD coexists with other mental health or medical disorders, such as
depression, anxiety, traumatic brain injury, or substance abuse. In addition, individuals are
at increased risk for suicide.12 Anxiety or fear is a normal physical and psychological
response to stress. Individuals vary in coping with and Mr. M Mr. M is a 39-year-old Black
male who served in the army from 2004 to 2006. During this period, he was deployed to
Iraq. Since returning, Mr. M has had trouble reintegrating. His family life with his wife and
four children is rocky, and he has been unable to get a job. Mr. M feels distant from his
children and believes the children avoid him. He thinks the world is against him. Mr. M is
currently being treated in the ED for minor injuries related to a bar brawl. He is drinking
almost every night and is often in arguments or fights at the bar. Mr. M describes feeling at
the end of his rope. Ms. S Ms. S is a single, 20-year-old Mexican American U.S. Navy veteran.
She served for 2 years, during which she was deployed to Equatorial Guinea to work as a
translator. Ms. S was released with an honorable discharge 6 months ago related to PTSD
symptoms following a traumatic experience while serving. She was admitted to an inpatient
psychiatric unit after a suicide attempt. Ms. S is currently on suicide precautions. She
describes feeling detached and distant from her family. Ms. S’s family has always been her
greatest sense of connection and support. She has not found work since leaving the military
and she feels guilty that she is not trying hard enough. Ms. S expresses inordinate shame
about her current situation, which grew exponentially when she was admitted for a
psychiatric hospitalization. adapting to experiences that cause anxiety or fear. However, an
emotional reaction to stress or trauma is not a criterion for a PTSD diagnosis.12 Prominent
symptoms of anhedonia, dysphoria, angry and aggressive symptoms, or dissociative
symptoms following exposure to stressful and traumatic psychological conditions are
distinctly associated with the PTSD diagnosis.12 Such experiences of psychological distress
following exposure to catastrophic or aversive events is grouped as a trauma and stress-
related disorder by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th edition
(DSM-5).13 An individual may have some combination of PTSD with or without anxiety,
depression, substance use, or other physical problems (see Ms. S).14 Psychological distress
following exposure to a traumatic or stressful event can vary widely depending on the
individual’s psychological coping reserve and the context of the experience. Ms. L’s history
shows she was in the military for many years without developing PTSD (see Ms. L). During
her most recent deployment, she witnessed an IED explosion that left a friend with multiple
limb amputations. Irritability, emotional detachment from her husband and sons,
sleeplessness, and flashbacks prevent her from working. Ms. L is most concerned that her
marriage is dissolving and she is not able to care for her children. Ms. L came to the
attention of the nurse who was caring for her while she was in the hospital for a minor
surgical procedure. Ms. L complained about not sleeping and asked for a sleeping
