<p>In England, veterans are able to access both mainstream and veteran specific services.
There are several bespoke veterans’ services in place to meet the needs of military
personnel, veterans and their families. This includes very strong mental health support,
known as ‘Op COURAGE: The Veterans Mental Health and Wellbeing Service’, which has
received over 16,000 referrals to date. Together these services provide a complete
mental health care pathway for veterans with individuals benefitting from personalised
care plans, ensuring they can access support and treatment both in and out of hours.</p><p>The
Government has committed an additional £2.7 million to expand these services which
will directly benefit at-risk veterans, some of whom may have been impacted by the
recent events in Afghanistan.</p>
