Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is over twice the rate amongst rail staff as in the general public. PTSD is a treatable condition but only 2% of rail staff with PTSD have had treatment that works. Join this webinar to understand more about managing trauma and what treatment entails. You will hear directly from rail staff who have first-hand experience of going through treatment, as well as a clinical psychologist who specialises in trauma. Our aim is to separate facts from fiction about managing trauma.
