UK Treatment for Staff Trauma in Security and other Organisations

Report this content

PTSD Resolution now offers TATE - Trauma Awareness Training for Employers - to support the successful integration of veterans and TA in the workplace.  The half-day modular courses enable line managers and HR staff  to recognise potential symptoms of trauma and identify a clear route to resolving any workplace difficulties

PTSD Resolution is a UK charity (No. 1133188) that offers free treatment, with an 83% success rate, to UK armed forces’ veterans, TA, reservists and dependants, to relieve mental health problems resulting from military service, to ease reintegration into a normal work and family life.

The PTSD Resolution national outreach programme has over 200 therapists. It is free, private, confidential, local, one-to-one with no waiting lists and no referral needed, thus reducing any sense of stigma. Therapy is brief and effective – generally within three to five one-hour sessions.

Resolution therapists are trained in HGT - Human Givens Therapy - consistent with the guidelines of the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE).

Patients are not required to talk about the traumatic events. The programme policy is that re-exposure is better done in the client’s visual imagination and while in a relaxed state, protecting confidentiality and reducing distress. This relatively new development of TFCBT, similar to Imagery Re-scripting and Reprocessing Therapy (IRRT).

The programme has an 83% success rate across the 266 UK veterans treated to date. This is similar to the recovery rate in the recent study of 599 stress-related cases from the general population who were treated using HGT: over 70% reached a significant and sustained improvement after an average of 3.6 treatment sessions.

Treatment is complementary to the work of other armed forces charities, because it can resolve the immediate mental health issues that may be barriers to successful help under reintegration and resettlement programmes.

Training is suitable for line managers and personnel development personnel, including CIPD members – including the retail, security, cash handling, insurance and legal sectors.
