Mental Health and Well-Being
Our services are designed to support mental health needs, as well as the welfare of individuals and families.
​
Our support includes help and guidance with regard to disabilities, accommodation, education, benefits, and transportation for medical, hospital, and rehabilitation appointments.
​
We strive to create a service that empowers and does not create dependency.
Many veterans face significant challenges upon leaving the military, including specific challenges like homelessness, unemployment, mental health issues, difficulty accessing healthcare and welfare. Our services focus on the individuals needs.
Our mental health services will have a profound impact on the lives of veterans and their families. By improving mental health, we will help veterans achieve self-sufficiency, rebuild their lives, and contribute meaningfully to our community.
These four case studies from Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust show what the effects of PTSD can . The studies also highlight what can be achieved with the appropriate support.
Mental Health and Well-Being support is being developed with partner organisations, ensuring that our Veterans have access to a range of specialist services that can meet their individual needs.
