SERVICE DETAILS
Our Live Life Project aims to ‘fill the gaps’ providing a unique partnership offering of support to veterans and their families.
We know that for many partners and children of veterans there is little support offered, and services can be difficult to navigate. That’s why we’ve brought together our award-winning Mediation and Support team with seven other organisations; our collective expertise can help assist with stress, mental and physical difficulties that affect veterans and their families.
Live Life aims to reduce the impact of trauma and mental illness by providing support to all members of the family, allowing them space as individuals to explore stresses and work together as a family to address these where appropriate
