What Is AboutFace?


AboutFace features the real stories of Veterans who have experienced PTSD, their family members, and VA treatment providers. By watching the videos on this website, you can learn about PTSD, explore treatment options, and get advice from others who have been there.

AboutFace is produced by the VA’s National Center for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, the world’s leading center for PTSD research and education. The Veterans, providers, and family members on the site have volunteered their stories and expertise. All interviews are unscripted and represent the thoughts and opinions of the people who are speaking.
