National Traumatic Stress Network (NCTSN)

The National Trauma Stress Network (NCTSN) is a government-funded organization dedicated to improving the care and support for individuals who experience traumatic events, such as violence, disasters, or abuse. It connects professionals across the country—like therapists, doctors, and educators—to share resources, research, and best practices. The goal is to ensure that trauma survivors receive effective mental health treatment and that communities are better prepared to respond to crises. By fostering collaboration and education, the NCTSN works to reduce the long-term impact of trauma on individuals and society.
