Help with PTSD in French?

Hello everyone, I'm looking for resources to help a friend who's dealing with PTSD. She's a French speaker and I'm hoping to find some materials in her native language to help her understand and cope with her condition better. Can anyone recommend any websites, books, or organizations that focus on PTSD in French? Merci!

Bonjour MindfulMentor, I understand your concern. The French government has a useful site called 'Santé.fr' which provides information on mental health issues, including PTSD, in French: <https://www.sante.fr/les-ressources/ressources-a-destination-des-professionnels-de-sante/troubles-psychiques-et-troubles-du-comportement/>. Additionally, the 'Institut National de Santé Publique Québec' offers resources on PTSD in French as well: <https://www.inspq.qc.ca/sante-mentale/troubles/etat-de-stress-post-traumatique-ptsd>.

Another resource you might find helpful is the 'Association Française des Traumatisés Crâniens' (AFTC). They offer support and resources for individuals dealing with traumatic experiences and might have some materials in French: <http://www.aftc.org/>. Furthermore, the WHO has a comprehensive guide on mental health conditions, including PTSD, available in French: <https://apps.who.int/iris/handle/10665/259912>.

Lastly, it's essential to remember that professional help is crucial for managing PTSD. While resources in French can aid understanding, it's vital to find a mental health professional who can provide expert guidance and treatment. Encourage your friend to seek help from a licensed therapist or psychologist who speaks her language. It can make a significant difference in her recovery process.
