Our Mission

We Seek To FacilitatE the discovery of a PTSD cure by 2025, while easing the burden today.

PTSD Recovery Foundation of America, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization formed to help those suffering from Post-traumatic Stress Disorder. PTSD can develop after many different types of traumatic events—military operations, emergency response, natural disasters, abuse—and we seek to serve all who are suffering. We want to help those with PTSD recover & reintegrate now while promoting scientific research that results in a cure.

experience a traumatic event will go on to develop PTSD.

to develop PTSD and are more susceptible to domestic abuse
and sexual violence than are men.

Our Initiatives


We FOLLOW A MULTI-PRONGED APPROACH TO R&R - RECOVERY AND REINTEGRATION.

Our goal is to help improve the lives of millions suffering from PTSD. This means we fund research efforts & therapeutic programs, hold resilience workshops, and collaborate on fundraising and charity events.

 Our Fundraisers

Our Goal is to aid recovery in all ways, and you can help.

Our fundraisers and charity events will raise money for our recovery & reintegration workshops for those with PTSD, help fuel our education program, PTSD Authority, and ultimately fund research for a cure.

Get Educated

The first step to help those with ptsd is to provide education…to everyone.

Whether you have PTSD, have a loved one with PTSD, or just want to learn more, we have the answers. Our public service, PTSD Authority, provides useful information, resources, forums, and Q&A, written and maintained by the science experts. Understanding PTSD will end the stigma and allow us to provide meaningful help.
