Best New Charity
WINNER: Sapper Support
SAPPER SUPPORT gives around the clock emotional and physical support to persons suffering from PTSD and associated mental health issues. Peer support and shared experience is utilised to overcome feelings of low-mood, self-loathing, worthlessness, survivor guilty, flashbacks and many other feelings. We are also able to fund initial assessments with clinical psychiatrists ( local to the callers ) to determine a diagnosis and speed up the process of access to treatment.
