What the petition asks

Services currently provided for ex service personnel with PTSD does not meet their psychological needs leading to increased distress family breadowns and higher suicides
Many of our service and veteran personnel suffer with crippling psychological damage often alone with their families trying to pick up the pieces alone. If we truly value the sacrifices our troops made for our country then we need to be prepared to provide the psychological support and welfare they need to recover. Practitioners with experience and knowledge of PTSD linked to service rather than generalists who have no experience of combat stress.This has to be a priority of a civilised society
