About this app

PTSD Coach was designed for Veterans and military Servicemembers who have, or may have, Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). This app provides users with education about PTSD, information about professional care, a self-assessment for PTSD, opportunities to find support, and tools that can help users manage the stresses of daily life with PTSD. Tools range from relaxation skills and positive self-talk to anger management and other common self-help strategies. Users can customize tools based on their preferences and can integrate their own contacts, photos, and music. This app can be used by people who are in treatment as well as those who are not.

PTSD Coach was created by VA’s National Center for PTSD and DoD’s National Center for Telehealth & Technology.

The PTSD app is a valuable resource, providing helpful information and tools for us struggling with PTSD. However, the user interface could definitely use a major upgrade. It's a bit clunky and outdated compared to other apps. A more modern and intuitive design would make it even more user-friendly. Additionally, incorporating some AI features could enhance the app's capabilities and provide personalized support.

This app has helped me track and better manage my PTSD. It saved my life (literally)! Over three years ago I was at a very bad place and needed to contact the suicide hotline. Could not remember the number, but the app dialed it for me. That might seem insignificant, but it was there when I needed it. The newer features are extremely helpful in keeping an updated safety plan. To all who contributed to the development and management of this app, thank you!

During a recent crisis I used grounding and thought shifting through the app, it made me feel like the people who put the app together "get it" in a way that most people don't. When stress is high it's hard to remember what tools I have and where to find them, the app uses the same strategies I'm learning in therapy and it feels seamless to use it when I need it. Explore the app before you need it, there are a lot of options and it's easier to find what works for you when you're calm and safe.
