We help people engage their full potential

by relieving the burden of traumatic stress
Africans are driving rapid changes across the continent through their creativity, energy and resourcefulness. 

We believe the negative impact of traumatic stress still prevalent in many areas should not hold back any African from participating fully in these historic transformations.

​African PTSD Relief adapts simple, direct, evidence-based stress management programs to challenging environments.

Then we implement these programs and support their progress, relieving individuals from traumatic stress so they can free up their full potential and give their best to their communities.

​The heart of APR’s programs?

 Transcendental Meditation. 
The same technique successfully reducing traumatic stress for first responders, veterans, women subjected to domestic violence, and teachers and students of inner city schools.

And now producing the same relief for...
...students in Kibera...
…for parents in the Rift Valley…
…for widows of tribal violence...
   …and for a growing number of schools and communities across Africa.

Whatever the cause, traumatic stress debilitates every individual and every community it touches.  

But directly relieving traumatic stress revives individual and public health, improves educational outcomes and enhances economic participation.  

The experience of African PTSD Relief with thousands of Africans shows that the cascade of negative effects due to traumatic stress can be relieved and even reversed.  

Please help bring effective relief to more children, women and men today. 

Relief that works.
