Veterans
Because of the unique challenges faced whilst in service, veterans can require specific mental health support services once they re-enter civilian life. The risks faced by veterans during active service can lead to a range of complex mental health issues including anxiety, PTSD, and alcohol use disorder.
PAPYRUS is always here for you, should you ever need us. Our HOPELINE247 service is an inclusive, non-judgmental space to talk openly and honestly about your thoughts of suicide.
We’re here for you from 9am to midnight, every single day of the year.
