Working with veterans suffering from mental health problems

Veterans with chronic mental health problems commonly isolate themselves from mainstream society, have poor relationships with others and suffer marital, family and economic difficulties. While the true scale of the mental health problem is unknown in Britain, as veteran population studies have not been performed, Combat Stress - the national charity that looks after veterans with mental health problems - has received increasing demands for help over the past few years. This session will discuss rehabilitation strategies for veterans with mental health problems and will highlight the work of Combat Stress.
