The Traumatic Stress Clinic is recognised internationally as a leading research treatment clinic for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and prolonged grief. The clinic is involved in a variety of programs aimed at better understanding reactions to traumatic events and loss, improving the treatment available for people who have difficulty coping with these events, and developing new and effective treatments for specific groups such as police officers and other emergency services personnel.
The clinic is involved in research that evaluates current treatments for PTSD and prolonged grief. This means that individuals can get access to cutting-edge treatment at no cost. We can provide this free service because we are funded by a number of grants to conduct research into treatment effectiveness. More information about the treatment programs offered through our clinic can be found here.
As well as treatment research, the clinic is involved in a number of other research projects. Further information about these projects and research participation can be found here.
The Traumatic Stress Clinic offers treatment for PTSD and prolonged grief at both our Westmead Hospital (Westmead) and University of New South Wales (Randwick) locations.
