PTSD Love Stories is a story of hope and an exploration of identity, love and relationships among the caregivers of people who experience PTSD as a result of trauma incurred while working in fire, ambulance and police services, and defence.
Who cares for the carers?
We follow three remarkable women who are finding ways to move forward: to love, to care and still be free to explore their identities and fulfil 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 observational documentary, animation and re-enactment to explore serious issues with a light-hearted touch.
Back then, we didn’t have the language or support to talk about what we were living through. Watching PTSD Love Stories brought back many memories, but it also gave me a sense of hope. I only wish a film like this existed when my kids were younger. It touches my heart very deeply in so many different ways and gives me a new life purpose.
