Supporting Veterans Worldwide

Supporting Veterans Worldwide

PTSD Resolution has extended its reach beyond UK borders to provide critical mental health support to British veterans living overseas. Since launching this pioneering initiative, the charity has successfully treated 38 veterans residing abroad, demonstrating that trauma knows no boundaries — and neither should access to effective therapy.

This is one of a number of unique therapy programmes supported by public donations to the Big Give – where contributions are doubled by our generous sponsor Championed by Bernard Sunley Foundation. Closes midday December 9th.

The programme addresses a significant gap in mental health provision for the estimated 55,000 Armed Forces Pension Scheme recipients living overseas. Veterans have been supported in over 20 locations worldwide, including Cyprus, Spain, Australia, Canada, Germany, Thailand and the United States. Through online and telephone therapy delivered by our network of 200 qualified Human Givens therapists, distance is no longer a barrier to receiving vital support.

Sarah Geddes, winner of the Soldiering On Award Lifetime Achievement Award 2025 and founder of the Veterans Information Portal (VIP), reflects on this partnership:

"The VIP was formed after I reached my lowest point and discovered there wasn't any PTSD support in Cyprus or the UK for Veterans living abroad — a shocking realisation when there are thought to be 20,000+ Veterans in Cyprus alone. We are honoured to be supported by PTSD Resolution and have already signposted a struggling Veteran who told me they feel able to reach out due to the professionalism shown. Thank you!"

Global Reach, Local Impact

The overseas programme maintains PTSD Resolution's hallmark efficiency, delivering the same brief, effective treatment that achieves measurable clinical recovery in an average of six sessions. Working collaboratively with the Veterans Information Portal and other support networks worldwide, we ensure veterans can access therapy through multiple pathways — reaching those isolated from traditional support structures.

Many veterans settle abroad after service, but trauma doesn't respect borders. Our message is clear: you're not alone, and help is available
