Northern Ireland: Female Veterans Invitation To Participate In Study

 

Jen Robinson is conducting a study exploring the identity of female veterans living in NI as a part of an MSc Psychological Science at Queen’s University Belfast. As a part of this study, she would like to interview as many women as possible who served after the disbandment of the WRAC, WREN or WRAF and who now live in Northern Ireland.

Jen is hoping that this study will inform future support to help more military women to make a healthy transition to civilian life.

If you would like to be involved, then please get in touch by emailing FES@qub.ac.uk
