Why PTSD UK is here

Why PTSD UK is here

PTSD UK is the only charity in the UK dedicated to raising awareness of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (both PTSD and Complex PTSD) – the causes, symptoms & the treatments available – no matter the trauma that caused it.

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is a natural human response to trauma – and anyone can suffer from it. 

PTSD UK is here to give information, to give support, to help shape UK healthcare policy to better treat those in need, and to give anyone suffering from the condition the belief that ‘Tomorrow CAN be a new day‘.

What we do


Our charity aims to raise awareness of PTSD in three main areas – it’s causes, symptoms and the treatments available. These 3 areas are of vital importance to those suffering with the condition. Find out more about why we began and what we do.
