Did you know that post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is the most common mental health disorder after depression?
Trauma can have a devastating effect on people’s lives. Any one of us can be affected and the psychological impacts can be deep and complex.
They can affect any of us physically and emotionally, and the way we see ourselves, others, and the world around us. The problems that arise after trauma can be complex and impact our wellbeing.
According to Phoenix Australia, about 5.5% of Australians will experience PTSD at some point in their lives. That means that at any one time over 1.5 million Australians have PTSD.
It’s predicated that 3 in 4 Australians will experience an event that can cause psychological trauma in their lifetime. Psychological trauma comes in many forms and impacts people from all walks of life.
The problems that arise can be complex and impair our physical and emotional wellbeing.
However recovery is possible.
Matilda Nepean at Kingswood runs a private mental health program that is focused on the needs of people living with PTSD and other stress-related conditions.
The program provides a safe and nurturing environment for participants to access the tools and strategies they need to address their specific symptoms and needs.
The program helps address trauma and stress-related emotions and develop new thought patterns to better manage the symptoms associated with trauma and stress.

It can be accessed either as an inpatient or on a day therapy basis.
