Thistle Foundation Support for Veterans
Provided by: Thistle Foundation
Thistle Foundation works with people who have served, and/or their families, living with physical and/or mental health long term conditions or difficult life circumstances.
Thistle provides person centred health and wellbeing support to veterans and/or their families living with long-term health conditions, disability and challenging life circumstances (poverty, trauma, isolation/loneliness). It is delivered through a hybrid model of in-person and remote support, on a 1:1 basis and through groups, and is available to Veterans and their families across Scotland, helping them to live their best life.
They work alongside and signpost to other agencies providing specialist support in other areas.
