"My children do not play boo.
We do not play hide or seek or make a lot of noise.
I'm grateful to know we aren't alone."
Tori, Manager, CarersOrg
PTSD Love Stories is a story of hope and an exploration of identity, love and relationships of the caregivers for those who suffer from PTSD as a result of trauma incurred from working in the Fire, Ambulance and Police services. Who cares for the Carers? We follow three individuals who are finding ways forward to love, to care and still be free to explore their identity and fulfill their own needs. Their stories shed light on mental health, intergenerational trauma, PTSD, suicide, and stigma in the workplace. Quirky and inspirational, the film uses art as a medium to explore three women’s stories on a serious issue with a light-hearted touch.

PTSD Love Stories and the outreach campaign was made possible with support from the following organisations
"We are a family with mental illness. We can relate. Mental illnesses need to be discussed, and to watch this expressed in such a caring and respectful way made me cry."
Quentin, Manager, Carers QLD
"I am crying. Thank you for speaking out about this"
Aditya, Role, Organisation
"It's so typical of Carers to blame themselves for not being able to 'fix' the problem. We are not alone."
Chet, Role, Organisation
"Thank you. I know now that while someone with PTSD may display behaviours that may be defined as domestic violence, it is the illness, not the person, speaking."
Jun, Role, Organisation
