Living with PTSD

What is PTSD?

PTSD is the abbreviation for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. PTSD is a specific set of stress reactions that can develop in people who have experienced or witnessed traumatic events which threatened their life or safety, or that of others around them.

These traumatic events could be death, car (or other) accidents, serious injury, military combat, physical or sexual assault, war or torture, or disasters such as bushfires or floods. As a result, the person experiences feelings of intense fear, helplessness or horror.

What People Are Saying

testimonials about PTSD Resource Centre

PTSD

Manger at Australian Resource Centre for PTSD
I thought I knew all about PTSD but after attending the workshop I discovered I didn’t know much at all. Information was presented in layman’s terms and from personal experience, we weren’t bombarded with statistics. As a chaplain I can now better support those who come to me with PTSD.

The PTSD Support Group has been endlessly helpful. It has been a great comfort to learn I am not on my own and that there are others who understand and have been where I am.

I really love the informality of the group. A real bond has developed with the group & the wonderful ladies that run it. Identifying the differences between the disorders that were once “tarred” with the same brush and how to work through them
