In 2022, we conducted a survey to identify the specific needs of veterans and serving personnel in Staffordshire.
Supporting Our Veterans' Wellbeing
High Rates of Mental Health Concerns
90% reported anxiety, 85% low mood, 66% depression, and 71% loneliness.
Demand for Support
70% wanted information on social activities to combat isolation, 67% sought emotional support, and 60% expressed interest in self-help sessions.
These one-on-one sessions offer a listening ear (crucial for healing), needs assessment, and personalised support plans. Toolbox facilitators connect veterans with services and build self-management strategies.
We're recruiting 10 volunteers from the service community to train in delivering our Toolbox program specifically to veterans and their families.
Address issues like depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and trauma. These sessions are designed to help veterans develop a more positive mindset.
Workshops across Staffordshire offer practical skills for managing anxiety, building mindfulness, and developing positivity and self-esteem.
we work in partnership with specialist organisations to deliver our Thrive workshops. These are specifically targeted at those who have suffered PTSD. We are proud of the positive results we’ve experienced from our Thrive programme.
SNfMH Military Mindset is committed to supporting veterans and their families in regaining control of their mental wellbeing. We offer a variety of programs to meet individual needs.
