Our Mission

The overarching mission of the Trauma and Stress Studies Center (TaSSC) at Texas A&M University is to improve the health and well-being of adults who have experienced traumatic life events or who suffer from posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and/or co-occurring conditions.

At the Trauma and Stress Studies Center, we are dedicated to:

• Scientific inquiry and advancement of our knowledge about the phenomenology and treatment of PTSD symptoms and co-occurring conditions;

• Education in clinical research approaches and methodologies, specialized psychological assessment procedures, and evidence-based treatment services for traumatic stress and related conditions;

• Community outreach and community-based partnerships to share with and learn from the populations we are dedicated to serving; 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.
