Op COURAGE: The Veterans Mental Health and Wellbeing Service provides specialist care and support for those due to leave the armed forces, reservists and those who’ve already left.

Op COURAGE offers a range of specialist support and treatment for members of the armed forces community, which includes:

  • helping to recognise and treat early signs of mental health problems, as well as more advanced mental health conditions and psychological trauma
  • providing support and treatment for co-occurring mental health and substance use
  • liaising with charities and local organisations to support wider health and wellbeing, such as help with housing, relationships, finances and employment
  • referring to other NHS services, where needed
  • recognising that family may also need help and care and supporting them to access this.
