Community Veterans Service

The Community Veteran’s Service treats ex-service personnel who served in the British armed forces and who are subsequently experiencing problems with their mental health.

The Community Veterans Service is provided by a veteran’s community therapist who offers friendly, accessible help for you and your carer or family. She will work with you to promote mental health and support your mental health needs. In addition to providing direct treatment for you, she may also help you to access other services which may benefit your overall health and well-being.

Help for Heroes

They help retired veterans, and those still serving, to recover and get on with their lives by providing physical, psychological, financial and welfare support for as long as they need it. They also support their families, because they too can be affected by their loved one’s wounds.
