Raising Awareness for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder!
1.4 million Australians at any one time* have Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
It affects people from all walks of life. Families are torn apart, drug and alcohol problems occur, careers are destroyed, and in some cases, people are driven to suicide as a way of stopping the pain.
Yet too many people live with this PTSD disorder controlling their lives and the lives of their loved ones and never know what the demon is!
Picking Up The Peaces for PTSD is a community group committed to a National Campaign to raise awareness about the signs and symptoms of PTSD. We believe that by identifying the problem and seeking treatment early, sufferers and their families can regain their quality of life.
You can join us. Browse this website, join the mailing list, email us at info@pickingupthepeaces.org.au with specific questions if you’d like to get involved. If time is a problem, you can always sponsor the campaign.
Now is the time. You can help stomp out the stigma around PTSD. And in doing so, save lives.
