Women veterans in the UK are less likely to use veteran-specific mental health services than men, and report feeling as though these services do not meet their needs.
This project aims to improve our understanding of women veterans’ mental health needs and experiences of mental health services, in order to co-design guidance and recommendations for mental healthcare professionals providing support.
This project is funded by the National Institute for Health Research and is in collaboration with the Essex Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust and Salute Her.
Project Outputs:
Infographic: Key considerations when commissioning services to support women veterans
Infographic: Key takeaways for professionals supporting women veterans’ mental health
We are hosting two virtual project workshops, where we will discuss our findings, and how to best meet the mental health support needs of women veterans:
