Introduction

What is the Post Combat Psychological Injury Program?

The physical, emotional and economic toll of a serious service-related injury does not end when the service member leaves the military. Years and even decades after they were discharged, veterans who were badly hurt while serving are significantly more likely to be in poor health and somewhat less likely to be employed.

Injured and uninjured veterans have shared equally in the rewards that military service. At the same time, veterans who were seriously hurt and their families bear more burdens of service than their uninjured comrades once they leave the military.

The Post Combat Psychological Injury Project enables veterans to process the symptoms experienced that reduces daily functioning, sleep, reflexes and reactions.

We know and fully understand the issues faced by veterans accessing services in the UK. The Principal Facilitator of this Project is a Military Veteran and he himself has overcome the burden of Complex PTSD.

Having graduated with Professional accreditation and Post-graduate Degree in Trauma Management, PTSD and mTBI.

We are here to help and more than qualified to do so. We speak your language, we've been there, we have overcome. YOU CAN TOO!

We are on a mission

  • To ensure that the needs of veterans, reservists and their families are identified and support is mainstreamed.
  • Promoting the education and training of GPs and other healthcare providers.
  • Requesting GP’s to specifically include ‘Have you ever served in the Armed Forces?’ as a question on the registration of new patients with GP practices and subsequently request veterans’ complete medical records.
  • Raise awareness of veterans’ mental health needs with health and social care staff in primary and community care settings and ensure local directories have up-to-date information on local and specialist military-related mental health support services.
  • Promote agreed procedures with local authority housing teams to ensure veterans are made aware of sources of local and national support at an early stage in their transition to civilian life.
  • Promote veterans’ employment and housing advice peer support networks, and establish links to local services.
  • Explore with partners, NHS and local authorities, amongst others, how to utilise the Help for Heroes resources to provide non-clinical rehabilitation support for wounded, injured and sick veterans.
