Help with PTSD for You and Your Family – CRAFT PTSD
Community Reinforcement and Family Training (CRAFT) – Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a web-based course for family members of Veterans working to manage PTSD. This course teaches family members how to encourage their Veteran to get treatment and support them during care. It also offers tools for family members to improve their own quality of life.
Features include:
- Self-paced learning, so you can stop at any point and pick up where you left off at another time.
- Exercises to help you review skills.
- Resources to protect you and your family, including tips to help you create a Safety Plan.
Get Started: Launch CRAFT-PTSD Course
How to Use the CRAFT-PTSD Course
This course can help you learn more about the symptoms of PTSD and the impact PTSD can have in some relationships. You will learn and practice new skills that help family members to communicate more effectively. CRAFT-PTSD also covers strategies that will help you to take care of yourself, whether or not your loved one decides to seek PTSD services.
This is a self-paced course with the opportunity to print or save exercises in each lesson. We recommend that you move through sections in order, and that you practice the skills described in each lesson between your sessions.
CRAFT-PTSD includes information about the options available for Veterans who may benefit from PTSD treatment in VA or in the community. Those who are not members of a military family can also get useful information in this course.
NOTE: CRAFT-PTSD is not a substitute for medical care or advice from a provider. Only a licensed professional can diagnose PTSD.

How to Use the CRAFT-PTSD Course
This course can help you learn more about the symptoms of PTSD and the impact PTSD can have in some relationships. You will learn and practice new skills that help family members to communicate more effectively. CRAFT-PTSD also covers strategies that will help you to take care of yourself, whether or not your loved one decides to seek PTSD services.
This is a self-paced course with the opportunity to print or save exercises in each lesson. We recommend that you move through sections in order, and that you practice the skills described in each lesson between your sessions.
CRAFT-PTSD includes information about the options available for Veterans who may benefit from PTSD treatment in VA or in the community. Those who are not members of a military family can also get useful information in this course.
