Our Story
FearLess is a charity that works with people living with the consequences of post traumatic stress (often referred to as PTSD). We also help family members in any way affected by it. Our members come from all walks of life including those living with PTSD and their families or people who want to do their bit to make the lives of people living with post traumatic stress more enjoyable and fulfilling. Our work complements the activities of other community-based organisations and government agencies that provide services to people with post traumatic stress.
We have a growing national presence throughout both Australia and New Zealand, with the aim of having local representation in areas where there is a concentration of people who live with post-traumatic stress.
Donate to us
With your help and financial support we can achieve our vision and help end the nightmare for hundreds of thousands of Australian and New Zealand families who live with PTSD.
DonateOur Vision
There are upwards of a million people in Australia who suffer Post Traumatic Stress, a condition that medical practitioners and clinicians now recognise as the result of injury to the brain caused by exposure to violence, trauma and shock. And there are upwards to three million family members who live with people experiencing Post Traumatic Stress on a daily basis.
Our vision is to create a co-ordinated network of outreach and support services to help those with lived experience of PTSD and their families regain control over their daily lives. These services will centre on a community-owned and community-operated Post Traumatic Stress management protocol currently under development by the Universities of Wollongong and Canberra. FearLess is also working actively with the University of the Sunshine Coast to develop appropriate approaches to PTSD management and support to become part of a national program available to all Australians and New Zealanders who live with this injury.
We are confident that, in due course, FearLess will be able to sponsor world-class research by Australian universities and research centres, working collaboratively, into the causes and treatment of PTSD .
With community help and financial support we can achieve our vision and help end the nightmare for hundreds of thousands of Australian and New Zealand families living with PTSD.
