<p>Early in 2017, NHS England launched the Veterans Mental Health Transition, Intervention
and Liaison Service (TILS) and Complex Treatment Service (CTS). TILS provides in-reach
services for those in transition, leading up to, and leaving the armed forces; services
for veterans with complex presentation; general services for veterans. The purpose
of the CTS, which builds on the launch of TILS, is to provide an enhanced service
for veterans who have military attributable complex mental health problems, including
post-traumatic stress disorder, which have not been resolved earlier in the care/support
pathway.</p><p> </p><p>Since October 2010, the Veterans Information Service has contacted
all service leavers by email or post 12 months after discharge, to make them aware
of mental health and other support available to them.</p><p> </p><p>Further details
can be found on the NHS website at the following link:</p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.nhs.uk/using-the-nhs/military-healthcare/nhs-mental-health-services-for-veterans/"
