Media Relations

The Media Relations department at The American Institute of Stress (AIS) serves as a conduit connecting AIS with local, national, and international media outlets. Media relations at AIS offer centralized and coordinated communication support, providing up-to-date information and products, print, and online media, and is the official link to news media. 

The Media Relations are available to respond to journalists’ inquiries and requests. In addition to providing news releases and tip sheets, we also provide:

  • Photographs and digital images
  • Diplomate and Fellow biographies
  • Background information on research and fellows
  • Latest research and reports on stress and stress-related topics

The AIS Media and Speakers Bureau offers a service connecting our credentialled healthcare professional members with corporations and media outlets across the United States. Our diverse pool of AIS Fellows and Diplomates, representing various clinical specialties, is available to deliver engaging talks at conferences, corporate meetings, and other events covering a broad spectrum of stress-related subjects. While our speakers will sometimes volunteer their time and expertise, an honorarium might be requested along with any expenses incurred. We deeply appreciate any donations that can support the ongoing efforts of our Media and Speakers Bureau.

Please feel free to use any of the material found on this website to promote The American Institute of Stress and its mission with the proper attributes.
