PTSD Resolution announces its 2025 Annual Conference, "Being Exceptional: The Challenge of Difference," taking place on Saturday, 4 October 2025 at The Victory Services Club in London. The ground-breaking event will confront the urgent need for effective mental health treatment for individuals who fall outside mainstream services—including veterans struggling with addiction, those in the criminal justice system, and people facing severe socio-economic hardship. Book Tickets Online.

The conference brings together frontline experts from across the UK to share evidence-based strategies for engaging with and treating those whom traditional systems often fail. With 6 hours of CPD-certified content, the event promises practical, real-world solutions rather than theoretical approaches.

Charles Highett, CEO of PTSD Resolution, said: "This conference represents a crucial conversation about those living on society's margins—veterans and others facing multiple, complex challenges. We're bringing together experts who work at the sharp end of trauma recovery, addiction, poverty, and reintegration. Their insights will be invaluable for any professional serious about making a real difference in mental health treatment."

Distinguished Speaker Line-Up Addresses Critical Issues

The conference features leading practitioners tackling society's most challenging mental health contexts:

    Dr Ben Grall, CGL National Lead for Veterans, will present integrated care models for veterans dealing with both substance misuse and PTSD, including controversial approaches to treating those still actively using
    Dr Sarah Troughton, Consultant Psychiatrist and Clinical Lead at NHS Veterans Network, explores how financial hardship and moral injury compound trauma
    Chris Parsons, Director of LandWorks, shares successful strategies for reintegrating ex-offenders into society
    Adrian McNulty, Director of Operations at Lucy Faithfull Foundation, addresses the challenging intersection of trauma, technology, and safeguarding in child protection
