UCF RESTORES-Trauma Therapy Program

What began as a government-funded research initiative in 2011 has grown to serve as an invaluable resource to the Orlando community, the state of Florida and beyond. UCF RESTORES – recognized as a National Center of Excellence for First Responder Behavioral Health – adheres to a one-of-a-kind approach to treatment (including a uniquely condensed and successful three-week intensive outpatient prog

ram), combining evidence-based exposure therapy, emerging technology, one-on-one and group therapy sessions to help those suffering in the wake of trauma regain control of their daily lives. UCF RESTORES provides its evidence-based clinical treatment services to individuals experiencing PTSD and other trauma-related concerns, including first responders, front-line medical personnel and essential workers, military veterans, active-duty military personnel, survivors of sexual assault, survivors of mass violence, survivors of natural disasters and others affected by trauma. Currently, all treatment services are available at no cost to Florida residents. UCF RESTORES is led by Executive Director Deborah Beidel, Ph.D., ABPP, recognized as a leader in the future of health care and, on a regional level, as one of the “10 People Who Make Orlando a Better Place to Live.”
