PTSD help online

[Rights Fighter]

I've just come across this site

http://www.talking2minds.co.uk/

I have no idea whether this is to be recommended or not but as some members here were recently talking about this subject and there doesn't seem to be much help I thought I would post this.

If it is of any help please do come back and let us know
