We are the world's leading research and educational center of excellence on PTSD and traumatic stress.

It's normal to have upsetting memories, feel on edge, or have trouble sleeping after this type of event. If symptoms last more than a few months, it may be PTSD. The good news is that there are effective treatments.

We have received national honors as the best state psychological association twice, best graduate student group twice and best diversity program once.

When the mental health of the mother is compromised, it affects the entire family.
Star Behavioral Health Providers
Whether you are a service member, veteran, military family member, referring professional or friend, military life – especially deployments or mobilizations – can present challenges that are both unique and complicated. Some of these challenges are manageable, and some of them are not. In some cases, these issues get worse and become too much. It is during these difficult times that we should seek help from qualified professionals who are trained in military-specific subjects and can address the special challenges we face as service members, veterans and military friends and families.
