  • Earthquakes and Tremors: Post-Traumatic Stress or Post-Traumatic Growth?

    09 March 2023
    Earthquakes and Tremors: Post-Traumatic Stress or Post-Traumatic Growth?

    Since the devastating earthquakes in the area a few weeks ago, Lebanon has been subject to frequent and strong tremors. Earthquakes and other catastrophic events can imprint post-traumatic reactions on some individuals.

    In light of these events, the Counseling Service at Antonine University (UA) is organizing an on-campus awareness session as part of the How to Be Mentally Stronger, Happier, and Resilient series. The conference entitled Earthquakes and Tremors: Post-Traumatic Stress or Post-Traumatic Growth? will discuss strategies for coping with anxiety and the trauma brought on by disasters.

    Audience: Open to the public
    Date: Thursday, March 9, 2023
    Time: 2:30–3:30 PM
    Location: Hadat–Baabda Campus, Building G, Room G.2.7
    Speaker: Dr. Marie Khoury, Psychotherapist

    Tackled Questions

    • Why do people react differently to earthquakes?
    • Can we manage anxiety and better react to tremors?
    • Can we learn how to liberate ourselves from the fear and “kidnapping” of earthquakes?

     

    Participants will receive a certificate of attendance.
