Post-treatment support for service-related trauma
It is essential that you or your loved one has post-treatment support following treatment for service-related trauma.
Support network
An important element of post-discharge support is establishing a support network. We help you set up a support network which might include:
- friends
- family
- general practitioner
- psychiatrist, psychologist or counsellor
- local community health team.
Steps to recovery from service-related trauma
- trust your support network
- see our treatment program as a new beginning
- take care of yourself
- ask questions about our treatment, including medications and their possible side effects.
