We are all ex-servicemen and women from all three services, offering 1:1 peer support for fellow veterans suffering with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), alongside many other mental health issues, including alcohol and substance misuse.
Our goal is to provide a safe environment where veterans can sit and talk openly to like-minded people who understand what they have gone through, and be frank about their demons, without any fear of repercussion and labelling. Our aim is to help give these veterans the ability to put into place their own coping mechanisms and strategies, so that they can control their own lives again and be self-sufficient. Then we can guide them back into their community and make them feel wanted and appreciated so that they can once again contribute to society as a whole.
Veterans of all ages from all three services welcome.
