In this video we go over three really useful mental health resources. This should help with the care of your Veterans.

Op COURAGE
https://www.nhs.uk/nhs-services/armed...
This is the NHS mental health services. This was previously called TILS - Transition, Intervention and Liaison Service (TILS) and provides a wide range of support. There are regional teams that will be able to assist in those who are transitioning into civilian life or are a Veteran and are struggling.

There are multiple regional teams:

The Warrior Programme
https://www.warriorprogramme.org.uk/

This is a charity run free service that provides coaching services for military, veterans and families.

Referrals are all patient driven and it is aimed at those who want to improve and try are motivated. So those who have read a lot around changing their attitude and behaviours (think of books such as Chimp Paradox) that this may be right for them.

They can drop the team an e-mail on [email protected]

or phone +44 (0)808 801 0898

I have signed up for this due my own issues and so far I am really encouraged by it. If you want me to put a couple of videos on my progress then please comment below!

Finally
Headfit
https://headfit.org/home/

This is primariliy aimed at serving personnel, but as full access is free, there is no reason why patients can't access this themselves.

It provides a wife range of techniques to help with situations. It is aiming at mental fitness rather than a specific mental health problem and so again for those who may not have a true mental health condition, rather need help with mental resilience and the lower level elements.

I hope this has helped.
