In 2018. WPS Director Paul Ward was appointed Location Psychologist by the BBC (UK broadcaster) working on a major documentary in the Kimberley, taking ex-servicemen and women on a transformative adventure through the outback. Paul was selected due to his expertise with PTSD, and experience providing therapy to military personnel. The role included being with the cast and crew constantly for 3 weeks, in harsh and remote locations. Paul managed the emotions of the cast, successfully keeping them all in a state where they could complete filming.
Meeting the cast of the show was a real privilege. You would struggle to find a more inspiring group of people. Without Limits was broadcast on the ABC in Australia, with Part One on Thursday October 18 and Part Two a week later. The worldwide broadcast coincided with the Invictus Games, and the cast met HRH Prince Harry, the patron of the games. You can see more about one participant, Shaun, at:
