Welcome To The First Field Dressing
This „First Field Dressing‟ is a self help guide which has been constructed by veterans and professional
mental health staff. It is an effective guide to assisting you to understand the symptoms and effects of
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder especially with Armed Forces Veterans.
Along with understanding the condition, the FFD gives advice of helping to control the symptoms until
professionals can form a treatment programme. This advice is only a guide which has helped other
veterans in the past and should not be relied upon as a cure.
It must be stressed that the First Field Dressing is NOT a medical document. Nor is it endorsed, legally,
by any official body. As mentioned, it is merely a guide and anyone undertaking any exercise should be
aware of the minimal possible risks to further mental health issues.
If at any point, you feel in the need for immediate help, please ring the helplines below
