Oops, I misread the question and ticked 'yes' when I should have ticked 'no'. No doubt that the right measures and help at the right time would prevent ptsd, but as far as forcing someone, I feel that would surely scar most people deeper and make recovery harder long-term. But with others e.g. if their nature is to keep things in, it could be wise to make them go into counselling, but it all depends on how that is done, if it is done sensitively and with plenty of respect for the individual.
