The American Institute of Stress (AIS) is a non-profit organization, headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas which imparts factual information on stress reduction, stress in the workplace, stress related to military service and the health consequences of chronic, unmanaged stress. AIS was founded in New York in 1978, at the request of Dr. Hans Selye, the “father” of the stress concept, to serve as a clearinghouse of all stress related information. The Institute is dedicated to advancing our understanding of the role of stress in health and illness, the nature and importance of mind/body relationships and how to use our vast innate potential for self-healing. The paramount goal at AIS is to provide a clearinghouse of stress related information to the general public, physicians and other health professionals interested in exploring the multitudinous and varied effects of stress on our health and quality of life.
