Veterans and Families Service – Service User

How can we help?

With your help, our team can help you family work together to make a plan for a future.

Experience in the military may still impact your family member even after leaving the service. This can sometimes bring unexpected difficulties for that family member and for the family.

Our aim is to work alongside your family, to provide you all with a space to talk, and explore ways to work together through these difficulties. The Veterans and Families Service will help you understand what may be impacting your family member, and help you all work towards a better future together.

What we have to offer

We provide sessions both alone and with your family. With issues that affect relationships in the family it is best to talk about them in a group.

Our sessions help you to:

  • Process what’s going on in your family, in a safe space
  • Identify what you need and reflect on the needs of your family as a whole
  • Understand what’s going on with your family members, and how you impact each other
  • Help you talk confidently, to express what’s going on for you
  • Help you work through challenging issues, together
  • Help your family member contact special health services if required
  • Identify what to do next

Sessions are delivered remotely by our specialist practitioners, via Teams, Zoom or WhatsApp.

Who is eligible?

Your family member(s) should get in touch if:

  • They have left military service or a family member of someone who has served in the Armed Forces
  • You and your family are experiencing challenges with family life
  • There is at least one child in your family – yourself included
  • You or your family live in Wales

We look forward to hearing from you!
