We believe military trauma and PTSD shouldn’t destroy the lives of veterans and their families. When some military personnel leave service, their experiences can’t easily be left behind. Sadly, PTSD is affecting veterans more and more. King’s College reported last year that the rate of probable PTSD among veterans has increased to 11%, up from 7% a decade ago. Without help, anxiety, depression, isolation, substance misuse, and in some cases suicide, can tear lives and families apart.
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 (Expert-led mental health therapies such as intensive psychological therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy and occupational therapy) • Peer & Family Support
