Because many people underestimate the developmental, emotional, psychological, and spiritual injuries that can result when people experience or witness traumatic events, Sidran Traumatic Stress Institute, Inc. (formerly Foundation) is:
• a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization of international scope that
• helps people understand, recover from, and treat:
• traumatic stress (including PTSD)
• dissociative disorders, and
• co-occurring issues, such as addictions, self injury, and suicidality.
We develop and deliver:
• educational programming
• resources for treatment, support, and self-help
• trauma-informed community and professional collaboration projects and
• publications about trauma and recovery
Sidran’s constituency is made up of any individuals or organizations touched by the effects of trauma, including
• adults, adolescents, and children who have experienced or witnessed traumatic events,
• supportive friends and family members,
• health, mental health, crisis, public safety, and victims services professionals
• support networks, schools, faith communities, and more
