Veteran Support During COVID-19
Treatment and Support During Coronavirus
We continue to do everything we can to support veterans during this difficult time. We have followed the Government’s advice and closed our treatment centres, but we continue to provide mental health support in a variety of ways:
- Our therapists across the country have moved from face-to-face appointments to phone or video call appointments so veterans can continue to receive our specialist support
- Our Peer Support Service continues as a virtual service via phone and video call.
- We host webinars to help and support partners – we plan for these to continue.
- We are seeking ways to extend our Art Therapy online.
- Our 24-hour Helpline (0800 138 1619) remains open, providing confidential advice and support to veterans and their families.
- We are also posting regular updates to help reduce anxiety and maintain positive mental health on our website and social media channels. You can find all our new resources online here.
- And finally – any veterans currently receiving our support can also contact their usual clinical team member for more help and advice via their usual email address or telephone number.
