Guides
Information about treatment after trauma, written for patients and clinicians. Read the patient guide online or download either guide as a PDF. These guides provide general health information, not medical advice; reading them does not start care.
Patient guide
The treatments with the strongest evidence behind them
What the research actually shows about treatment after trauma — what the therapies involve, what to expect, what medication does and doesn't do, and how to find help in British Columbia.
Clinician guide
A guideline-referenced summary for primary care and referring clinicians
What to start, what to avoid, what to do while a referral is pending, and when psychiatry adds value — with case-finding instruments, first-line psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy, and the acute-stress window.
Guidelines: August 2026
