Our mission

The Trauma Studies Center of the Institut universitaire en santé mentale de Montréal aims to improve the mental health of individuals exposed to traumatic events. The Center’s mission is to improve knowledge regarding the psychological consequences stemming from such acts, the prevention of their development, and treatment options. To accomplish this, the TSC has several objectives:

To be a recognized as a leader in Quebec and Canada in scientific research on the consequences of traumatic events.

To improve the evaluation, prevention, and treatment of post traumatic stress disorder and related problems.

To raise awareness, train, and equip managers, employees, clinicians and victims to manage the psychological consequences of traumatic events.

To raise awareness among policymakers of the financial and human costs of traumatic events to society.
