Veterans Services
Defence Transition Services (DTS) can provide information and support for service leavers and their families who are most likely to face challenges as they leave the armed forces and adjust to civilian life.
DTS work directly with service leavers to provide information and facilitate access to the support they need, whether that be from another government department, local authorities, the NHS or trusted charities. In addition, DTS can help with career preparation for life outside the military through housing advice and guidance, as well as a programme of housing briefs available to all serving personnel and their families accessible at any point through their careers.

Read More +Veterans with Dogs
Veterans With Dogs is a charity dedicated to enhancing the lives of veterans of the UK armed forces who are struggling with mental health conditions through the provision of highly trained assistance dogs.
They specialise in breeding, raising and training assistance dogs to support veterans with a range of mental health challenges (including, but not limited to, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety and depression). They offer a comprehensive service, from puppy selection to the formation of a lifelong partnership between veteran and dog. They do not require a specific referral from a doctor, but applicants must provide evidence of their veteran status and mental health diagnosis as part of their assessment process.
The aim of their work is to improve veterans’ independence, reducing social isolation and empowering them to regain control of their lives, ultimately fostering better mental health and well-being.
