Veteran Families goal is to use technology and the power of community to improve the mental health of veteran families, firstly across the North East then later the UK.
The hope is that we can provide fast access into our support network, providing both peer support and professional services for counselling and addiction. This in return will lead to families living a more productive healthier, happier lives and reduce the number of self-harm incidents and suicides in military families.
We already have 5 centres, 50+ councillors and psychotherapists, addiction support programme, women-only support programme and a children’s counselling service and are recruiting 50 more volunteers for this project.
