- education in clinical research approaches and methodologies, specialized psychological assessment procedures, and evidence-based treatment services for traumatic stress and related conditions;
- community outreach efforts to disseminate information about cutting-edge research and evidence-based assessment and treatment options available for populations with PTSD and/or co-occurring conditions; and
- clinical services for individuals with PTSD, those with PTSD and co-occurring conditions, as well as those seeking to cope with the aftermath of traumatic life events, more broadly.
