VETERAN PEER SUPPORT — ONLINE MONTHLY MEET

Join us this Friday, 30 October 2026 at 17:00 for our online session. Whether you want to connect, share experiences, or simply listen in, our community is here for you.

We get that connection means choice.

Not always just in own back yard . It’s not only bacon butties or workouts . Sometimes it’s more than banter it’s those conversations with screens off , anonymity, no judgement.

As veterans there is an NHS service supporting mental wellbeing called Op Courage-I know not all are aware of this. Talking therapies also recently advertised this PTSD specific service if you live in an area covered by RDASH Health and Wellbeing

We offer support for common mental health problems across Doncaster, Rotherham & North Lincs.

💛 World Su***de Prevention Day – 10 September
Change the narrative. Start the conversation.
Sometimes we don't know what someone is going through behind closed doors.

🗣 A simple “Are you okay?”, taking the time to listen, or letting someone know that you are there can make a real difference.
🗣 Today is about breaking the silence and challenging the stigma around su***de and mental health.
🗣 We need to talk openly, listen without judgement and make sure people know that asking for help is a strength, not a weakness.

💛 Check in on your friends, family, colleagues and neighbours.
💛 Be kind — you never know what someone is facing.
💛 If you're struggling, please reach out. You don't have to face it alone.
📞 Samaritans: 116 123 – free, 24/7

Let's change the narrative. From silence and stigma to hope, support and action. 💛
