Health and Wellbeing - Message from Army's Senior Health Advisor

 

As many of you look forward to some well-earned summer leave, I wanted to take this opportunity to signpost the mental health & well-being resources and support over this period. Of note, focusing specifically on suicide trends, in addition to a well-known winter rise (in line with Defence and wider society) there is growing evidence of a secondary rise in the summer which is specific to the Army; sadly recent events reinforce this. No one in the Army family should feel alone and, no matter what the problem is, there is a wide range of support available. To assist all, support and/or advice available is summarised in one communication below:
