THIS PACKAGE IS COMPLETED ONLINE
Have you been through or witnessed a traumatic event, leading to intense, persistent, and unsettling thoughts? Our Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Screener offers early insights into the severity of your symptoms, guiding towards where to start healing from counselling or alternative support pathways.
PTSD can impact survivors, witnesses, and those who pick up the pieces afterward, including emergency workers, law enforcement, and support circles including close carers. Symptoms vary, sometimes emerging shortly after the event or resurfacing even years later.
You should seek help from a psychologist
- If your symptoms are still apparent after a few weeks
- If they are interfering in your ability to go about your daily routine
- If you don’t have emotional support from others to help process the experience
Our Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Screener is a great first step to help trauma victims find constructive ways of managing their emotions, enabling them to move forward in life.
