Latest news - PTSD Resolution
Mental Health of Security Personnel
The mental health of security staff is an acute industry problem, particularly amongst frontline security officers - and especially during the pandemic, with the additional pressures and stress that this has brought for personnel.
“With almost 40 per cent of those surveyed exhibiting symptoms of PTSD, it leaves a very clear message that the issue of mental health is not currently being taken seriously by security managers.”
Professor Mark Button, Professor of Criminology in the Institute of Criminal Justice Studies at the University of Portsmouth, 2019.
Security line managers often are unable to identify a team member who may be struggling with the impact of trauma, or not know how to raise and discuss the issue.

Jonathan Thomson rides the NC500 raising awareness for PTSD Resolution
During October 2020 a single rider set off on a 7-day attempt to ride the famous North Coast 500 through the highlands of Scotland. An incredibly tough ride even for young somethings. This unique and circular route starts and ends in Inverness.
Totals: 7 days, 862.1 K, (535 miles) 11,005 m climb, 48.61 hours in the saddle. Not bad for a 75-year-old.
New Survey: Incidence of Veterans' Trauma and PTSD
PTSD Resolution periodically carries out research to further understand the occurrence of trauma-related mental health problems experienced by UK Armed Forces' Veterans, Reservists and their families.
The principal objective of the charity is to provide relief for these problems through their UK-wide network of 200 Human Givens-trained therapists and to carry out further research into the incidence of PTSD and the resolution of symptoms experienced by veterans of the British Army, Navy and Air Force, as well as family members who may be affected by living with a traumatised person.
Delivering Therapy to Veterans in Prisons
PTSD Resolution supports armed forces’ veterans with mental health issues at work, in the community and in prison, to support their rehabilitation and life prospects.
PTSD Resolution has treated 104 ex-service men and women in 21 UK prisons - with good results. As an independent mental health charity with 200 therapists across the UK, PTSD Resolution has stepped up to confront a problem others ignore: PTSD is on the rise amongst ex-military personnel and, unsurprisingly, in prisons.
PTSD Understanding Recovery: The Book £12.99

Rosalind Townsend is an experienced Human Givens therapist who works in PTSD Resolution's network of 200 therapists. The charity has provided trauma treatment to over 2,000 armed forces’ veterans, reservists and their families, free of charge. It has achieved a 78% resolution of trauma symptoms - where both the therapist and recipient of therapy confirm that no further help is required.

Mental Welfare of Armed Forces' Veterans: New Impact Report
Many Veterans and Reservists continue to suffer mental health anguish resulting from their time in service to the UK - or in the case of some families, from supporting a loved one with these problems.
Charity PTSD Resolution helps them through a network of 200 therapists across the UK who provide therapy that is free, local, prompt, brief and effective, specifically to address the issue of persistent trauma. However many Veterans suffering from the symptoms are still unaware that they can get help to get better; that there is a service available to help relieve the problems of post-traumatic stress.
Remembrance Day Virtual Reception:
PTSD Resolution & Armed Forces Covenant, Nov 10th, 6pm
A major initiative to promote the mental welfare of Forces’ Veterans, Reservists and their families working in commerce and the public sector is highlighted in a virtual reception on November 10th at 6pm.
Attending the online event will be senior business and public sector decision-makers: signatories to the Armed Forces Covenant, and those with a CSR, Corporate and Social Responsibility, role or an interest in workplace mental health and that of Forces’ Veterans, Reservists and their families in particular.
75 year old Jonathan Thomson has completed the North Coast 500 to raise £10,000 for PTSD Resolution, a UK charity helping Veterans, Reservists and their families overcome trauma
A former Royal Marine, Jonathan describes PTSD as “a dreadful affliction that can affect those who have witnessed or been involved in traumatic events. Too many of our Veterans or those still serving suffer from it.”
Jonathan spent lockdown training at home for his 500 mile charity cycle around the North West of Scotland. It was six months of a rigorous 6-days-a-week routine involving a road bike, a turbo bike in the garden and a Wattbike ATOM in the hall, “a fearsome machine that is mostly too much for me.”
Finally, last Monday (5th October) Jonathan - the lone cyclist - and a small team of supporters set off from Inverness to complete the NC500.
New Funding for Veterans Welfare by Armed Forces Covenant Fund
The Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust has awarded PTSD Resolution a grant of £35,000 under the Covid-19 Impact Programme. This will help the armed forces' mental health charity to maintain support for veterans while they face additional stress from the economic and social impact of the pandemic, at a time when donations to all charities have declined.
The Trust supports the Armed Forces Covenant by delivering funding programmes that create positive change to armed forces communities across the UK. It is a charity and classified as a Non-Departmental Public Body, or NDPB. It manages the Armed Forces Covenant Fund, worth £10m each year.
New Memorial Wall for Forces' Dead with No Marked Grave
VJ Day 75, August 15th 2020
To commemorate the 75th anniversary of the victory over Japan, VJ Day, armed forces’ charity PTSD Resolution has launched an online ‘memorial wall’ for relatives to remember veterans of the UK services in all wars who died without a known grave.
Colonel Tony Gauvain (Retired), chairman of PTSD Resolution, whose father was killed in action in Singapore in 1942, says:
“VJ Day on August 15th marks the day when Imperial Japan surrendered in World War II, bringing the war to an end. The memorial wall initiative serves as a reminder of all those people who were killed in action and reported as missing presumed dead, and who do not have any gravestone by which to honour their memory."
The Veterans Foundation is supporting PTSD Resolution with a grant of £19,500 to fund the charity's work in resolving the mental trauma of armed forces' veterans, reservists and their families.
With nearly 3,000 referrals to date, the therapy service is free of charge, through a network of 200 therapists nationwide and also delivered online and by phone.
The Veterans Foundation provides a nationwide source of funding for British Armed Forces charities to help them carry out life-changing projects for veterans in need and their dependents.
PTSD Resolution: Delivering Brief and Effective Therapy to Veterans in Prisons
To date, PTSD Resolution has treated 104 ex-service men and women in 21 UK prisons - with good results. As an independent mental health charity with 200 therapists across the UK, PTSD Resolution has stepped up to confront a problem others ignore: PTSD is on the rise amongst ex-military personnel and, unsurprisingly, in prisons.
In fact, a 2018 study on mental health worldwide found that up to 27% of male prisoners - and 37% of female - suffer Post Traumatic Stress symptoms. The same study revealed 90% of detainees with PTSD have received no psychological treatment - making PTSD the least treated mental disorder in prisons

Secondary Trauma: The long-term impact of a Veteran's trauma
on a partner's health - and a message of hope
It was a week before Christmas 1993 when Sam met Scott at a nightclub in Bury. Two weeks later she moved in with him. This lightning romance was the start of a twenty-two year journey that would include joy - they welcomed a baby daughter soon after - but also tragedy.

FC: Falklands, Gulf and Northern Ireland Veteran
"My traumatic event took place in the Falklands, in particular the events of the 21st May 1982. I started having nightmares and flashbacks in the mid 1990s. At first these were infrequent. Recently I was under a tremendous amount of pressure, both at work and with domestic issues, and the nightmares/flashbacks increased - culminating in the worst attack I have ever had."
Former Royal Marine Takes on Scottish 500 Mile Cycling Challenge
We caught up with one of our newest fundraisers over the phone this week and heard about his own military background, his reasons for supporting us and why he wants more people to come forward and get the help they need.
"Having heard about the life changing work PTSD Resolution is doing, I've decided to raise enough money to pay for the treatment for 20 veterans by pedalling 500 miles on what's known as the North Coast 500."

Getting dressed and out of bed is good for morale
Sounds pretty obvious, but resist the urge to take duvet days or have a lie in or stay up later than normal. Setting the alarm for your usual time and sticking with your morning routine is a positive thing you can do to control how you start your day. Shower, shave, eating a healthy and breakfast and making your bed are all good drills. Wearing a suit is maybe taking it a bit far, so dress down but no pyjamas. Think too about taking just a short walk or a run to re-energise the senses.
Gemma Ferguson: An Extraordinary Transformation
When Gemma Ferguson flies to the USA this March to compete in the 2020 “Arnold’s” Sports Festival she’ll have come a long way from her lowest point in 2015.
After serving in the Army for nine years - including posts in Iraq and Afghanistan - Gemma had trouble adjusting to civilian life. Her problems began to spiral and when she lost her job and her flat she moved home with her mum, Jacqui. It was Jacqui who persuaded Gemma to make the call to PTSD Resolution - the first step on her journey to become Britain’s Strongest (U82kg) Woman!

Ian Young - An update
Last time we caught up with Ian Young he was preparing to represent GB at the 2017 Invictus games in Canada. A huge achievement, he went on to be an Ambassador for the 2018 games and is currently an athletics coach for Invictus 2020.
It’s been a long recovery journey from his initial diagnosis to today - and Ian is keen to break down the stigma surrounding Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and emphasise the importance of asking for help.
As bonfire night draws closer we offer a gentle reminder - fireworks aren’t fun for everyone.
For Veterans suffering from PTSD, fireworks aren’t a harmless way to celebrate but can trigger a traumatic reaction. On 11th November we will pause and pay tribute to our Service men and women, so, why not - just days before - spare a thought for Veterans like Jason Haynes.
Jason’s trauma and PTSD diagnosis means the 5th November isn’t carefree as it once was. As with many Veterans, the widespread and largely unregulated use of fireworks on and around bonfire night can be intensely triggering:
Tanya's Everest Challenge for PTSD Resolution
When Tanya Hodges was climbing Mount Kilimanjaro it was the letters from home that kept her going.
In the darkness and freezing winds of the final climb, the testimonies of Veterans treated by PTSD Resolution helped her put one foot in front of the other. That was in September 2018 and after pushing her body to the limit and successfully summiting Kilimanjaro at 5,895m - and raising £3,000 for PTSD Resolution in the process – Tanya decided on her next challenge: to hike to Everest Base Camp in March 2020.

'Shadow' Population of Forces' Veterans who suffer PTSD without Help
Many UK armed forces' veterans are suffering from the effects of military trauma, but are going without any official diagnosis or help according to a new survey of 3,000 former armed forces' personnel conducted by charity PTSD Resolution.
Unknown and untreated, this 'shadow' population receives no appropriate medical or counselling support, says PTSD Resolution; they may number as many veterans as are diagnosed with PTSD through the NHS and healthcare organisations for former servicemen and women.
PTSD Resolution has a national network of 200 counsellors that helps forces' veterans, reservists and their families suffering from military trauma. A short informational video 'Drop the Mask' has just been launched.

Tate Britain: Aftermath. Art in the wake of WW1
Marking 100 years since the end of the First World War, this exhibition explores the immediate impact of the conflict on British, German and French art. As the first exhibition to examine the culture of memorials alongside new developments in post-war art it looks at how artists responded to the physical and psychological scars left on Europe.
Art was used in many ways in the tumultuous period after the end of the war, from documenting its destructive impact, to the building of public memorials and as a social critique.
Recently, we shared with you the inspiring story of Sam Doyle who has raised over £7000 in aid of PTSD Resolution. To date, Sam has walked 3000 miles of Britain's coastline but has just hung up his walking boots as he prepares for a new chapter in his life: becoming a father. Here, Sam shares with us some of the highs and lows of his journey and his message to those suffering from PTSD:
I don't actually like walking but I knew I had to set out on this journey. I knew that the therapeutic aspect of walking would help me overcome my PTSD symptoms - and it did. Walking has really sorted my head out. It forced me to tell my story over and over as I moved from town to town, spreading the word about PTSD Resolution. Talking to people every day has really improved my self-confidence, too. The walk was like a complete restart for my life. It was just what I needed.

Recently, we talked with Sam Booth, a veteran who was treated by PTSD Resolution earlier this year. Sam, who now works as a facilities manager, got in touch to share his incredible story of transformation with us and his motivation to fundraise in aid of PTSD Resolution:
I spent eight years working as a submariner in the Royal Navy. I loved my job - I was away for four or five months of the year and visited plenty of foreign ports. But after seven years' service, I decided to leave. My wife was expecting our second child and having missed so much of my first born's life, I wanted to be there.
