Ex-Military Veterans Support

Ex-Military veterans are twice as likely to be unemployed as non-veterans, and are much more likely to experience homelessness, prison, or social exclusion. All these issues mean a much higher rate of depression and mental disorders. We offer this programme to support the well-being and re-integration of veterans living in our local community.

We offer a four-stage programme:

Phase 1 - Access and Engagement.
Phase 2 - Skills Building.
Phase 3 – Re-Integration.
Phase 4 – Aftercare and Relapse Prevention.

Services offered include:

  • Counselling
  • Support groups
  • Advice, guidance, and information
  • Peer mentorship
  • Family support
  • Health and wellbeing
  • Benefits support
  • Employment and voluntary work support
  • Relationship building
  • Money management
  • Personal development
  • Aftercare support
  • Relapse prevention

As part of the programme, we also offer a choir, designed to use music and singing as therapeutic tools for veterans to re-integrate into the local community.
