PTG Certification ScholarshipsPosttraumatic Growth is a positive psychological transformation that can happen after trauma. PTG demonstrates that when we’re forced to reflect on our lives and make sense of the destruction caused by trauma, our struggles can become a catalyst for change. Trauma does not have to be the end of the road, rather it can be the path to a new beginning.
