What is the MOD doing about trauma related problems?
The Armed Forces recognise the risk of psychological injury resulting from service especially operational deployed service and have over recent years taken major steps to address it. We have put measures in place to increase awareness at all levels and to mitigate the development of PTSD and other stress-related disorders occurring among Service personnel. These include pre-and post-deployment briefing and the availability of support, assessment and (if required) treatment, both during and after deployments. This is available to all personnel, whether Regular or mobilised Reservist.
