See Me

Posted on December 14 2022 at 15:10

See Me explored the experiences of veterans all over Scotland to launch The Guard campaign, which aims to encourages veterans who are struggling with their mental health to ask for help more quickly.

SeeMe event

On average it takes more than 10 years for a veteran to seek support for their mental health, with many reaching crisis point before telling anyone. This is a vital campaign putting the stories of five veterans at its heart.

I was invited to the launch of the campaign at Waverley station, where portraits of the veterans were on display, accompanied by a QR code which people can scan to hear their stories. I met the veterans who had bravely put themselves forward for the campaign, including Stacey, who now works for Combat Stress, supporting fellow veterans with their mental health. You can view more about the campaign here.

As #MonthOfTheMilitaryChild comes to a close, I'm re-sharing Sophia's story. Sophia shared her experience of growing up in a military family and transitioning to civilian life to help bring my Community and Relationships report to life. She also spoke very powerfully at the launch of @forceschildrenscotland's Rights Charter for Forces Children on Purple-Up Day last week. It's thanks to young people like Sophia and her peers – and their openness – that we can drive meaningful change. Listen to Sophia reflect on life in a forces family in her own words.

On #AnzacDay, we remember Australians and New Zealanders who have served - and all who made the ultimate sacrifice. From Gallipoli to the present day, we honour their bravery and dedication to their country. #LestWeForget
