Supporting a veteran can be rewarding, but it can also place significant pressure on your own mental and emotional wellbeing. Challenges such as emotional strain, relationship difficulties, social isolation, financial pressures and the responsibilities that can impact the wellbeing of supporters, especially when the veteran is also living with a physical injury or a mental health condition such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Thanks to funding from the Veterans’ Foundation, we are offering free counselling sessions to people supporting veterans to provide a confidential space that is focused entirely on you. You can talk to us about: anxiety or low mood; relationship difficulties; work-related stress or everyday pressures; confidence, self-esteem or identity; social isolation or loneliness; caring responsibilities or personal challenges or significant life changes.
