Blogs & conversations Empowering veterans and building stronger communities
Through my Churchill Fellowship, I explored how to develop sustainable mental health support for veterans and emergency responders. Since then, I’ve grown Veterans at Ease from an idea into a thriving charity, now supporting over 500 individuals with free, bespoke psychotherapy. We’re continuing to expand, training new therapists from the armed forces and emergency services communities and working with partners to provide holistic support for those facing trauma and mental health challenges.
