Talking2Minds: Urgent Plea to Public From SAS Veterans Self Help Group; ‘We need Money Fast to Help Our Broken Soldiers’
LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The phenomenal demand for a new and remarkably successful Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) treatment developed by ex servicemen for ex servicemen has led them to issue an urgent plea to the public on Remembrance Day for £100,000 of emergency funding.
Ex SAS veteran Bob Paxman has ploughed all his six figure savings made from work in Afghanistan and Iraq into helping his colleagues overcome PTSD. He has even sold his car and has now put his house at risk. The success rate of treatments is such it has been recently highlighted in the media (BBC1 Inside Out, This Morning etc.) and this has led to a cash crisis as thousands more mentally ill veterans desperately seek their help.
Paxman was so relieved to be cured by ex serviceman Mick Stott’s unique introspective therapy for PTSD he set up a Charity, Taking2Minds, to provide courses for other ex soldiers. They ran their first official course in February 2009 and have so far successfully treated 77 cases of PTSD and several thousand suffering from severe stress related disorders. Many turned to them as a last resort, with some having even attempted suicide. The statistical analysis results are truly remarkable.
Bob says: ‘I suffered PTSD since leaving the SAS and I had tried everything the NHS could offer but to no avail. Mick’s course was an immediate cure and my one goal since was to share that treatment with my colleagues. Ex soldiers who have nightmares, aggressive problems, can’t sleep etc. feel very abandoned and misunderstood by society, the MOD and NHS. We are changing lives. In the vacuum of dedicated help, soldiers are now treating soldiers.
But as ex servicemen, we have neither the time nor facility to raise funds and desperately need to employ an Appeals Co-ordinator and set up an office to start fundraising so we can help the thousands who have contacted us in the last two months. There is a dire need to set up a helpline.’
