WEBINAR
SE™ Based Research & Treatment for Military Veterans
w/ Peter A Levine, Ph.D.,
Retreat Director Alexandra Whitney,
and the Returning Home Team

With the COVID-19 pandemic confronting people worldwide, the next pandemic will be PTSD and trauma-related mental health concerns. It is more important than ever to bring Somatic Experiencing® (SE™) into greater awareness globally. With this program's research and experiential data, we can apply the SE interventions and toolkit to anyone suffering through this unprecedented time.

Please join us on February 28, 2021, from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm PST for a noteworthy live webinar with Peter A. Levine, Ph.D., Alexandra Whitney, Ph.D., and members of the Returning Home team.

THIS PROGRAM MAY EXTEND PAST 1:00 PM PST
Register in advance to receive the recording if you can not attend live.

Along with the Returning Home Team, Peter and Alexandra will discuss research outcomes, highlights, and lessons learned from the 2019 Returning Home Veterans Retreat. Returning Home is a Somatic Experiencing trauma healing retreat for military veterans presented by the Ergos Institute Community Health SE and the Somatic Experiencing Trauma Institute. This retreat demonstrates the value of the Somatic Experiencing model in addressing military service-related trauma and PTSD. The retreat includes a community outreach program to provide post-retreat support for each veteran and a research component to ensure the effectiveness of future SE intensive trauma healing retreats for veterans and military service members. Returning Home is part of Dr. Levine’s vision for ongoing programs that support those who have given service to our country and who suffer from PTSD. Alexandra plays a principal role in the success of the program. Her vision, combined with Peter’s, brought this exceptionally successful program to life.
