The Elfriede Dietrich Foundation is a non-profit foundation aimed at helping people suffering from trauma-related disorders. It supports research and public awareness on the genesis and treatment of mental illnesses, particularly Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

The offerings of the Elfriede Dietrich Foundation are aimed at people of all ages with trauma-related disorders (e.g., PTSD), relatives and close persons, professionals from psychotherapy, medicine, aid organizations, police, nursing, schools, and social work, as well as the general public to reduce stigmatization and raise awareness of trauma-related disorders.
