Of the ex-service personnel who received
counselling by PTSD Resolution over two years, 157 completed the programme, and
78 per cent of these had symptoms reduced to below the clinical level, in an
average of five sessions.
“ Sadly some people do not respond to therapy – others are
in the middle of compensation cases or legal processes that can interfere with
their capacity to change,” says Piers Bishop, Director of Counseling
Around
one quarter of those who contacted the charity initially were unable to engage
in counselling, for a range of reasons. Some were too distressed to focus on
the programme, or had lives too chaotic to be able to take part in regular
weekly sessions, even for the few weeks required. (Source: PTSD Resolution,

Even the ones who find it difficult to engage at first, can be helped to do so by patient, reliable, trusted contact leading to further engagement and recovery. This requires guaranteed human intervention of a level that we cannot afford without a serious injection of funds. Please help us find some serious donors who recognise the need and that help is at hand if it can be funded.
