Mental Health Charity Supports Armed Forces Veterans In Security: New Film on D-Day Anniversary

PTSD Resolution, the charity working with the UK security industry to provide therapy for the mental welfare of Forces' Veterans, has launched a new short film to raise awareness of the mental health issues veterans face and the support available to them.

The film's release is on 6th June, the 80th anniversary of D-Day, paying tribute to the sacrifices made by the armed forces.

The charity is highlighting the often-overlooked struggles of veterans, many of whom work in the security sector, as they cope with the psychological impact of their service. PTSD Resolution’s film aims to shed light on these issues and offer hope to those in need by showcasing the free, tailored therapy provided by the charity's nationwide network of 200 therapists.

Colonel Tony Gauvain (Retired), chairman of PTSD Resolution, emphasised the importance of the film's message: "On this significant anniversary, we remember the bravery and sacrifices of our armed forces. However, we must also acknowledge the ongoing mental health battles many veterans face long after their service ends. This film serves as a reminder that help is available, and no one should suffer in silence."

Since its founding in 2009, PTSD Resolution has received over 4,000 referrals, completing therapy in an average of seven sessions. The charity's unique approach allows them to support veterans facing addiction issues or those in prison, as well as family members who may experience secondary trauma from living with a traumatised veteran.

The film launch is part of PTSD Resolution's ongoing efforts to raise awareness and provide support to the armed forces community. With a lean operation and no salaried staff or assets, the charity ensures that funds are used primarily to deliver therapy and conduct essential research and public information campaigns.

Veterans, reservists, and their families are encouraged to reach out to PTSD Resolution for free, confidential support. The charity's network of Human Givens trained therapists is available to provide support locally, by phone, and online, ensuring that help is accessible to all who need it.

The charity is working with a range of security associations to raise awareness of the issue, including ASIS, the Worshipful Company of Security Professionals, the City Security Council, The City of London Crime Prevention Association and others.
