We are preparing a premiere for the 1st National Veterans' Day in Germany: we will be presenting the 4th film of our #InvisibleSuffering project here on our website and at our stand during the main event at the Reichstag in Berlin.

Soldiers in the German Armed Forces have been involved in military missions around the world since 1991. Their mission is to ensure peace, establish it or advocate for its observance. Such missions do not always leave soldiers unscathed, both physically and mentally.

The #InvisibleSuffering project aims to raise awareness of the problems faced by active and former soldiers in the German Armed Forces who suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder as a result of their service, and their family members.

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a trauma- and stressor-related mental disorder. It can be caused by experiencing stressful – traumatic – events. These are usually so exceptionally threatening or catastrophic in nature that they can cause lasting psychological distress in almost anyone.

We have compiled the most important services offered by the German Armed Forces and civilian and voluntary organisations to provide help and support in relation to PTSD and other psychological disorders resulting from military service.

Vor dem Hintergrund veränderter sicherheitspolitischer Rahmenbedingungen widmet sich der Kongress den aktuellen Herausforderungen der psychotraumatologischen Versorgung im Kontext der Landes- und Bündnisverteidigung.
