STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

About PTSD Resolution

PTSD Resolution helps veterans who have failed to reintegrate into a normal work & family life because of military trauma suffered during service in the armed forces.

Trauma causes flashbacks, nightmares, anger and depression - often leading to violence, alcohol and substance abuse, job loss, family breakdown and even suicide.

Through a nationwide network of 250 accredited therapists, PTSD Resolution provides treatment to enable veterans to resolve the mental health problems associated with military trauma that obstruct a normal range of family and work relationships.

Resolution therapy is brief, with an average of just three to four one-hour sessions, conducted on an out-patient basis, to support family and work routines.

The programme is complementary to the work of other services' charities, in that it resolves the mental health issues that are barriers to successful reintegration and settlement.
