Researching

by Joanne Wright

Hi,

I am looking to produce a television script based on soliders with PTSD. My question is although I have experience with mental health I do not with soldiers with PTSD. How do I go about researching this? Can I contact charities for help?

I feel strongly about the subject and mental health so don't want to give up the project however I don't want to portray something in the wrong light.

Thanks in advance for any help

Just a shot in the dark, but couldn't you contact hospitals? I'd advise against military hospitals, since they might deny that the problem exists.

Are you looking to interview soldiers/veterans with PTSD? Or just "the experts"? There must be NGOs that offer support.
