Post-traumatic stress is a common response to experiencing traumatic events. This program has been designed to provide a wide range of support for coping with post-traumatic stress. Take an assessment to get feedback on how you are doing or jump into the workshops to learn about how post-traumatic symptoms are triggered and what to do when this happens. Check out the videos of others who are dealing with post-traumatic stress, and explore the e-library for in-depth information.

Regardless of what your duty was, or what you saw or did while deployed, it's natural for you to be left with memories that are disturbing and distressing. These memories might not go away simply because you've returned to the safety of your home and family. They can make you feel angry, violent or depressed, and they can trigger urges to hurt yourself, avoid other people, and take excessive amounts of alcohol or drugs. All of these are symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.

The Post-Traumatic Stress Assessment, and each of the related assessments below, takes about five minutes to complete; recommendations follow based on your results.
