PTSD Coach is for people who want to manage symptoms that can occur after a trauma such as relationship issues or feeling anxious or angry. COVID Coach focuses on self-care and improving emotional wellbeing even as we move out of the pandemic. Both apps have to be downloaded in English but can be changed to Spanish in just two steps.

COVID Coach se enfoca en el cuidado personal y en mejorar el bienestar emocional, incluso cuando nos alejamos de la pandemia.

If you\u2019re a Veteran and there\u2019s not a Spanish-speaking provider available at your local VA, you can request to be treated by someone in the community through VA\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.va.gov\/communitycare\/\">Community Care program<\/a>. The National Center for PTSD website also has a Find a Provider page which allows you to search specifically for providers who are bilingual.<\/p>\n<p>If you can\u2019t find a mental health provider who speaks Spanish and you are at least somewhat comfortable speaking English, you can still benefit from PTSD treatment in English. A good therapist can help you even if they are not an expert in your culture or language. You could talk to the therapist about using a translation service. With or without a translation service, the therapist will work with you to find common ground, as well as come up with new words to describe what you are trying to communicate or ask questions to make sure you understand each other.<\/p>\n<p>If something isn\u2019t working for you, let the therapist know. With good communication, treatment can help you recover from PTSD.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tratamiento de PTSD para hispanohablantes <\/h2>\n<p>Si est\u00e1 interesado en el tratamiento del PTSD y su idioma preferido es el espa\u00f1ol, solicite un proveedor que hable espa\u00f1ol. A menudo, es m\u00e1s f\u00e1cil expresar las emociones en su idioma preferido y eso puede ayudarlo a aprovechar al m\u00e1ximo la terapia. Diferentes cl\u00ednicas pueden ofrecer diferentes opciones, como servicios de telesalud en espa\u00f1ol. Si usted es un veterano y no hay un proveedor disponible que hable espa\u00f1ol\u00a0 en su VA local, puede solicitar que alguien de la comunidad lo trate a trav\u00e9s del programa <a href=\"https:\/\/www.va.gov\/communitycare\/\">Community Care<\/a> de VA. El sitio web del National Center for PTSD tambi\u00e9n tiene una p\u00e1gina Find A Provider que est\u00e1 disponible en <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ptsd.va.gov\/gethelp\/find_therapist.asp\">ingl\u00e9s<\/a> y <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ptsd.va.gov\/spanish\/gethelp\/find_therapist_sp.asp\">espa\u00f1ol<\/a>. En esa p\u00e1gina hay enlaces a directorios de terapeutas, algunos de los cuales le permiten buscar espec\u00edficamente proveedores que sean biling\u00fces.<\/p>\n<p>Si no puede encontrar un proveedor de salud mental que hable espa\u00f1ol y al menos se siente un poco c\u00f3modo hablando ingl\u00e9s, a\u00fan puede beneficiarse del tratamiento de PTSD en ingl\u00e9s. Un buen terapeuta puede ayudarle incluso si no es un experto en su cultura o idioma. Podr\u00eda hablar con el terapeuta sobre el uso de un servicio de traducci\u00f3n. Con o sin servicio de traducci\u00f3n, el terapeuta trabajar\u00e1 con usted para encontrar puntos en com\u00fan, as\u00ed como buscar nuevas palabras para describir lo que est\u00e1n tratando de comunicar o hacer preguntas para asegurarse de que se est\u00e1n entendiendo.<\/p>\n<p>Si algo no le funciona para usted, inf\u00f3rmele al terapeuta.
