ABC’s ‘Good Morning America’ Features UCF PTSD Clinic

GMA3, a program within ABC’s “Good Morning America,” on Tuesday featured UCF RESTORES’ mental-health support to first responders who worked to uncover the 97 victims of the Surfside condo collapse.

UCF RESTORES works to change how we understand, diagnose and treat post-traumatic stress disorder. The clinic’s high rate of success in treating PTSD in veterans, active-duty military personnel and first responders — using virtual reality and exposure therapy — has earned it a spot as a partner of the Florida Firefighter Safety Collaborative, a nonprofit organization that educates and trains firefighters on physical and mental health. The Collaborative called RESTORES to Surfside to be on hand to help first responders.
