Hi all
I am worried about an organization that claims it helps people with PTSD. My hubby has been back for six months now from Afghanistan and started to have bad flashbacks. Worried about telling his boss. He looked up places on the Internet and found and organization called PTSD WorldWide.
www 'dot' ptsdworldwide.com
At first it looks presentable. But....When my hubby called about half way into the conversation the subject of money was brought up and the cost of therapy sessions with their Counsellors. £300 for three sessions. but at the bottom in small print there is this
"Our Helpline Counsellors remain anonymous, but are a valuable part of the team"
This worried me as you do not really know who you are talking to or what qualifications they have to give the right advice. I want my hubby to get help, not made worse. I did not let on to my hubby but I went on their open forum and asked a few questions that I thought any organization putting themselves up there as offering a service for PTSD would not mind filling in the blanks too. I was met with abuse by the moderator then the posts were taken down soon after.
Since then I have learned there head of the group who is the moderator was found to have embellished his service career in the Army to the media. claiming things he was not. This has further worried me as I do not know what to say to my hubby or how to get him to seek proper advice from a more reputable organization. How can there be a "safe soldier Zone" if you cant get to the truth.
Any advice please?
