PTSD Resolution provides free, prompt and effective mental health therapy for UK Armed Forces veterans, reservists and their families suffering from post-traumatic stress and related mental health conditions.
Founded in 2009, the charity has helped over 4,500 clients through a nationwide network of 200 qualified Human Givens therapists. Treatment typically resolves issues in an average of seven sessions at a cost of £940 per client, funded entirely through donations.
PTSD Resolution is accredited by the Royal College of Psychiatrists to the Quality Network for Veterans Mental Health Services and operates with minimal overhead – 93% of donations go directly to charitable objectives.
The charity works collaboratively with partner organisations across the veterans’ sector, with 60% of clients referred through partnerships and professional networks.
An integral part of its work is research using real world evidence to constantly improve the quality of therapy delivered by the therapist network. Results are reported in peer reviewed and published papers which demonstrate a high level of efficacy and acceptability of the service.
Our helpline is open Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm.
Treatment uses Human Givens Therapy, a non-invasive approach delivered through one-to-one sessions either face-to-face locally or online. This compassionate method doesn’t require clients to relive traumatic experiences, with both client and therapist agreeing when treatment is complete.
The charity uniquely supports those other services often exclude – veterans in prison (across 35 institutions), those with addiction issues, and clients with complex diagnoses. Almost half of those who call decide to have therapy with appointments available within 14 days.
PTSD Resolution’s FAITH programme specifically supports family members affected by military trauma, recognising that 17% of clients are relatives of veterans.
The charity also provides trauma awareness training for partners as well as delivering Trauma Awareness Training for Employers (TATE), helping organisations recognise and support staff experiencing trauma symptoms.
QMRT makes grants to charitable organisations which provide support to men and women who served in any of the Armed Forces of the Crown and who were injured or disabled in such service, and to their widows and other dependants. Beneficiaries are likely to be in receipt of a War Pension or an award from the Armed Forces Compensation Scheme.
The Trustees meet the object of the Trust by making grants to any charitable institutions or organisations whose objects include the reception, accommodation, treatment or after-care of people who come within the Trust’s object as set out above. The Trustees may also make grants in aid of medical or surgical research into the needs of injured and disabled persons who served in the Armed Forces.
Mindful of the ever-changing landscape within the serving and ex-service community, and the evolving needs of beneficiaries, the Trustees review the grant-giving policy on an annual basis.
Applications are on an invitation basis only.
