Join us for the 2025 PTSD Resolution Conference as we confront the realities of working with individuals who live outside the mainstream—those for whom systems often fail, and yet who show remarkable resilience in the face of trauma, addiction, social isolation, and more.
This year's theme, “Being Exceptional: The Challenge of Difference,” challenges therapists, professionals, and organisations to look deeper, beyond box-ticking, to real engagement and transformation. As always, the conference is grounded in the mission of PTSD Resolution: to deliver fast, free, and effective therapy to veterans, reservists, and their families.

Child Protection and Sexual Risk
- Adrian McNulty – Director of Operations, Lucy Faithfull Foundation
- This session will explore working therapeutically in high-risk safeguarding environments, where trauma, technology and offending behaviour intersect. The nature and scale of child sexual abuse and the work of the Lucy Faithfull Foundation supporting those who offend and those impacted.
Complex PTSD and the International Trauma Questionnaire (ITQ): What the Data Tells Us
- Bill Andrews – PTSD Resolution
- Presenting new research findings from PTSD Resolution’s use of the ITQ across hundreds of therapy cases.

A vital look at evidence-based practice from the margins.
