Beneficiaries
The UK is home to an estimated 2.4 million veterans who have served in a wide range of global conflicts. Sadly, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) from military service is affecting veterans more and more. The rate of probable PTSD has increased among veterans to one in ten, rising to almost one in five for those who were deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan in combat roles.
We will provide life-changing proven mental health treatment for veterans from every service and conflict, focusing on those with complex mental health issues resulting from their experiences during military service. Our Mental Health Services: • 24/7 Helpline – (Emotional and listening support) • Specialist Clinical Treatment (intensive psychological therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy and occupational therapy) • Peer & Family Support
