Description

Sheffield Mind was founded in 1978, so we’ve got 40 years’ experience of providing mental health services to people in Sheffield.  

This is a new and innovative service from Sheffield Mind, funded by the MoD, aimed at providing therapeutic support to the families of military personnel. This service supports people with family members currently serving in the armed forces, people with family members in the reserves and people whose family members have left the military in the last 6 months.

This could be support for significant, stressful events arising from the deployment of a loved one, dealing with the uncertainty when they are away or adjusting to and managing the challenges that can arise when they return following a period of deployment.

We also appreciate that family life carries on regardless and that this can bring its own stresses and challenges. We can support here too, providing an opportunity to talk about the day to day pressures and how military life impacts on domestic routine.

We provide:

- Free counselling to any family members living in South Yorkshire

- Monthly support groups throughout South Yorkshire for those with family members currently serving in the Armed Forces and for those with a veteran in their family.
