National Center for PTSD
ptsd.va.gov | Feb 17th 2011If you are in crisis, please call 911, go to your nearest Emergency Room, or call 1-800-273-8255 (TALK)(Spanish/Español 1-888-628-9454). NOTE: Veterans, press "1" after you call -- or Veterans can chat live with a crisis counselor at any time of day or night.
Because the National Center for PTSD has emerged as the world's expert on PTSD, people ask if the Center provides direct treatment services. The National Center for PTSD does not provide direct clinical care or individual referrals. We do provide links and information to help you locate mental health services in your area.
