PTSD Coach Canada

PTSD Coach Canada helps you understand and manage symptoms following traumatic experiences. This app puts research-backed education and practical tools in your pocket, available whenever you need support.

Learn about post-traumatic stress through clear, evidence-based information designed for Canadians. The app covers what PTSD is, how it affects the body and mind, and why symptoms develop after trauma. You'll gain insight into your own experience and recognize patterns in your responses.

Use the self-assessment tool to track your symptoms over time and understand their severity. This snapshot helps you measure progress and decide when professional care might help. The app also offers concrete techniques for managing distress in the moment—grounding exercises, coping strategies, and ways to calm your nervous system when you're struggling.

Access information about crisis support resources available across Canada, along with details about professional treatment options. Whether you're considering therapy, taking the first step toward help, or already working with a mental health professional, this app complements your care. Family members and friends will also find useful information to better understand what their loved one is experiencing.

Designed by Veterans Affairs Canada and grounded in clinical research, PTSD Coach Canada works as a standalone learning and symptom management tool or alongside face-to-face treatment. Download free and start building awareness and resilience at your own pace.
