The Rhondda Veterans Support Group (RVSG) ®©.
is a
social group who befriends Veterans of the Armed Forces and Emergency Services
who are suffering the effects of
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.(PTSD)
Unlike some other Veterans Groups.
No one at RVSG claims to
have any MEDICAL EXPERTISE nor do we offer any THERAPIES.
What we do have, is a vast knowledge of how PTSD affects the
person
How the illness disrupts their lives and the lives of their families
.
This is because all the members of RVSG suffer the effects of PTSD.
Meeting once a week in relaxing and comfortable surroundings and being able to chat
with fellow sufferers is tremendous therapy in itself.
Nobody feels they are suffering alone.
Our members soon find that during the week they are able to
contact other members
on a social basis or if they are distressed in any way.
We SUPPORT each other. Meetings of RVSG are no longer facilitated.
We found that
listening to endless dribble of a facilitator was helping no one.
If any of the
guys have anything to say, they just get on and say it.
this has proved to be
both helpful and entertaining.
That said, we do invite representatives of other
organisations and agencies
to talk to the Group. their help is invaluable and
much appreciated.
So why not come along and enjoy the company of like minded
guy
WE WILL NOT TURN ANYONE AWAY
