Signposting

If we are contacted by veteran in crisis our team of volunteers  work around the clock to provide information for support groups or organisations within in their area they may not know they have. By referring a veteran in need to the right sources through our experiences saves lives.

 

Counselling

Working closely with a Veteran counsellor, gives us the benefits of being able to refer  those in need of mental health support. As a veteran himself he has an understanding of what combat PTSD is and can relate on a "been there" basis. Through experience's opening up to a civilian counsellor has not always been easy for some.
