PTS Talk

     PTS talk was an interesting was a very interesting way to try and provide help for people to struggle with PTSD. It was simple easy to access and had several resources to help the people that have issues with their PTSD. All a person needs to do is find their website, sign up, and then they are able to find people with their own PTSD troubles. The many links to hospital websites really helps those who need more professional help. These small details along with the presenters’ personal stories really draws attention to the fact that they really are really dedicated to the idea of PTS Talk. They want to help as many as they can. Their presentation was also really easy to understand. They gave a clear definition of what PTSD is and they also gave clear idea of how PTSD is not easy to deal with by yourself. Everyone knew what they were talking about and they all had their own personal stories to tell. Overall, they had built up a really good idea that could probably help a lot of people.

     While the general idea was very sound, I still had issues with the website. While they have the general framework of the website down, it still needs a lot of work. A few ways that they could improve is by making the website a little bit more colorful and welcoming. As it is right now, almost everything is black letters with a white background. If they made it a little more colorful, more people would find the website inviting. Another issue that I had was with their forums. While they do have many different topics to share on, they seem kind of divided from each other. A good way to solve this is to set up a way to view all the forums together and set them apart through tags. This will really help people who don’t really know what the cause of their PTSD is from and will also help people whose PTSD stems from several different issues.
