Stirling: Combat Stress Veterans Recovery Network at Stirling Castle, Sat 5th September
Taking place in one of Scotland’s most historic settings, the session will give veterans an opportunity to meet others, spend time together and connect in a relaxed, supportive environment.
The event is open to all veterans, including those who have never accessed Combat Stress. There is no expectation to share personal experiences or take part in any particular way. You are welcome to join in at a level that feels comfortable for you.
Led by veterans with lived experience of recovery, these sessions are designed to show that change is possible and that recovery is within reach.
This event is part of our Veterans Recovery Network, building local, accessible support across the UK. Thank you to the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders Museum for providing the location.
