Episode 1 – When You Can’t Just ‘Crack On’
In the first bumper episode of New Frontiers, we speak to charities within Scotland’s Veterans Wellbeing Alliance to understand not just the problem, but where to get help.
How does poor mental health impact veterans? People who’ve served in the armed forces can feel like they are expected to just ‘crack on’ when they’re not feeling 100% – so they squash vulnerable thoughts and don’t speak up.
In this first bumper episode of New Frontiers, we speak to charities within Scotland’s Veterans Wellbeing Alliance to understand not just the problem, but where to get help.
Joining Richard Henderson and Hannah Uttley for this episode are:
Callum Connolly from Rock2Recovery
Charlie Marno from the Defence Gardens Scheme
Laura Mulcahy from Cyrenians.
