I am trying to put together a global list of PTSD help centre's for those of us who suffer PTSD, or simply need more information from the correct sources. If you know of the centre within your country, or some that are not listed, please post them here for inclusion.

Australia

Australian Centre for PostTraumatic Mental Health (http://www.acpmh.unimelb.edu.au/)
PTSD help from the ACPMH, offers a unique blend of scientific and clinical knowledge to provide the best possible outcomes in post traumatic mental health.
Department of Veterans Affairs (http://www.dva.gov.au/)
The DVA homepage contains PTSD help for all Australian veterans. Provides information on entitlements, forms and applications for compensation, points of contact and more.
Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network (http://www.rainn.org/)
The Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network is the nation's largest anti-sexual assault organization. RAINN operates the National Sexual Assault Hotline and carries out programs to prevent sexual assault, help victims and ensure that rapists are brought to justice.
America

National Center for PTSD (http://www.ncptsd.va.gov)
The National Center for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) was created within the Department of Veterans Affairs in 1989, in response to a Congressional mandate to address the needs of veterans with military-related PTSD. Its mission was, and remains: To advance the clinical care and social welfare of America's veterans through research, education, and training in the science, diagnosis, and treatment of PTSD and stress-related disorders. A great source of PTSD help for all US veterans.
National Center for Victims of Crime (http://www.ncvc.org)
The National Center for Victims of Crime is dedicated to helping the more than 25 million people who are victimized by crime each year. While a crime may last just moments, its impact can be felt for a lifetime. Victims react to crime differently depending upon their life experiences, the level of personal violation they feel when victimized, and the extent to which their equilibrium has been upset. PTS help can be sought for common reactions that include fear, shock, denial, anger, anxiety and numbness.
Gift from Within (http://www.giftfromwithin.org/)
PTSD is real and we wanted to explain the condition without being too technical or too superficial. Gift From Within believes that persons with PTSD and related traumatic stress syndromes deserve the same respect and support that individuals and families suffering the impact of cancer, heart disease and stroke receive. A recommended resource for PTSD help within America.
