Crisis Intervention and Counselling Services: We provide face-to-face counselling sessions (6-18 weeks). We also provide specialised support for trauma, abuse, financial hardship, bereavement, and suicidal crises.

Recovery Centres for Veterans and the Community: Two long-term Recovery Centres offering weekly peer support groups, training and workshops. One centre is dedicated to Veterans and their families, the other to the wider community.

Veteran Recovery College: We have a nationally recognised programme supporting veterans with mental health challenges. This is in partnership with the NHS Recovery College Collective and other veteran charities.

Community Mental Health Support and Outreach: We provide outdoor therapy, addiction recovery support, and a community kitchen. We focus on reaching individuals who struggle to access traditional mental health services.

Advocacy and Policy Work: We are involved in policy discussions and advocates for better mental health services at the regional and national levels.
