Press Room

An important way to educate the public about traumatic stress is through the media. Therefore, the National Center for PTSD strives to be as responsive as possible to media requests. If you are interested in interviews or other information on PTSD, contact our public affairs officers at one of our 7 Divisions.

We also provide information for media personnel on how media coverage of traumatic events affects individuals, an overview of the National Center, and a press kit. We strongly encourage those interested in conducting an interview to start by reading this information.
