Few people realise that trauma and psychological injury can be more devastating than physical injury.

Traumatic events can come in many varying forms, for example: 

	burglary
	sexual assault
	being bullied at work
	domestic violence or even
	medical emergencies

They strike unexpectedly, turning everyday experiences upside-down and destroying the belief that "It couldnever happen to me".

Among adults, the average 25 year old is up to five times more likely to be depressed than 50 years ago. Adults are 28 times more likely to have been the victims of violent crime than in 1953.

Untreated, the effects of trauma and the psychological condition - Post Traumatic Stress Disorder or PTSD for short - can last a lifetime, impairing health, damaging relationships and preventing people from achieving their potential.

Sufferers often find that effective knowledge and treatment of PTSD is hard to find. But prospects for recovery are positive when you have the right treatment.

At the Red Poppy Company, we can provide a proven, effective, safe, quick and non-drugs based treatment for trauma sufferers that allows them to take back control of their lives, allowing them to move forward positively.

For family members, the Red Poppy Company can provide them with the understanding, information and support required to help them through living with PTSD.
