Welcome to PTSD Forum. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a life threatening, debilitating disorder that can break down a sufferer’s body through anxiety and stress. Further it poses a significant suicide risk resulting from the brains neurological imbalance and chemical depression. Sufferers often live in denial, thus this community is aimed at helping PTSD sufferers help themselves through others experiences, guidance and education. We are here for the sufferer, spouse and families surrounding PTSD. Spouses and family are too often forgotten in this equation, and often they receive all the worst that PTSD has to offer. If you're involved in any way with PTSD, get registered and help yourself now.

Non-active members will eventually be deleted. If you are not a sufferer, carer or someone within the mental health industry, and active, then there is little reason for you to be a member of this forum. Non-active members with zero posts are deleted periodically during the year.

Default Hello Richard!
Hello friend! Good to see you posting! (Richard is my very good friend and is the only person off this forum who knows about my PTSD and supports me with it... I keep telling him to join the carer's section!)

What is the Sainsbury Centre for Mental Health? I've never heard of it before...

Quote:
Employers have a Duty of Care and after a recent high cost ruling it was determined that employers who provide psychological support for their staff will be less at risk for damages if a claim is made against them. This has led to a huge increase in the the use of Employee Assistance Programmes and funding for in-house counselling services.
Yes... out of interest, is this what Occupational Health is about? Aiding employers rather than discriminating against them by refusing a job so they are not prosecuted and/or sued?

With medical records... what does this mean in terms of Occupational Health? If you refused to sign the form for giving them access to them, could this result in not getting a job?

Thanks for the info... !

PS. Also, since you have so much knowledge around UK Mental Health Procedures, perhaps you could make a post about how to go about getting help for PTSD, and what the procedures SHOULD be, for those in the UK struggling to get the help they need, deserve and pay for through taxes? Maybe something for those looking for help in the NHS, and those who can afford to look in the private sector also (about how to go about looking for the right help depending on what they are looking for help with specifically)?

Hi MS
I just wanted to let you know that I have posted about my appointment today with a CPN in my diary. I'm sorry, but I didn't feel comfortable posting about it in the 'open' forum. I'm sure you can access that area (trauma members diaries), however, if not, or you (or anyone else) have any questions feel free to contact me

take care
cherry
