Veterans mental health service

  • We support veterans across Devon who have served in the UK armed forces and who are concerned about their mental health.

    How we can help

    We provide a first point of contact for people aged 18 and over who have completed one day's service or more with the UK armed forces and whose service may be contributing to their mental health problems. We also see anyone in the Merchant Navy working in support of military operations.

    We will meet with you and hear your story to assess any impact that events may have had on your mental health. Following this we can help you to map your pathway to recovery.

    This may be:

    • By working with you to develop a psychological recovery plan, called a wellness recovery action plan (WRAP)
    • By referring you to other services in our organisation, or to one of our charity partners for treatment
    • By helping you to access other charities and organisations that strive to help veterans.
  • How to get help

    How to get help

    Veterans accessing our service must:

    • Be a resident in Devon or Torbay (excluding Plymouth)
    • Have served in the UK armed forces for a full day
    • Be registered with a GP practice or be willing to register with a GP
    • Be able to provide their military service number or another form of acceptable proof of eligibility.

    If you meet the criteria you can self-refer or request a referral via a healthcare professional or a service charity.
