<p>In addition to all the clinical commissioning group commissioned mental health
services, many of which have pathways and services relevant to armed forces, NHS England
commissions two bespoke services for veterans experiencing mental health difficulties.</p><p>The
first is the Transition, Intervention and Liaison Service which supports serving personnel
who need additional support as they are leaving the armed forces and veterans who
have mental health issues. The Transition, Intervention and Liaison Service is also
the entry point to the Complex Treatment Service, the second service commissioned
by NHS England. The Complex Treatment Service is able to provide a range of more intensive
care and treatment for veterans with military related complex mental health difficulties,
many of whom will have experienced trauma.</p><p>The Transition Intervention and Liaison
Service accepts referrals directly from veterans or a veteran can ask their general
practitioner or a military charity to refer them.</p>
