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.

I was delighted to visit the team at Glasgow's Helping Heroes on Tuesday to hear an update on their work and insights into the Armed Forces and veteran community that they support. It was particularly encouraging to hear about new initiatives in response to emerging needs, alongside their continued commitment to supporting individuals facing housing, health and employment challenges.

Great to visit the @cofgcollege Maritime Hub, an inspiring facility delivering world-leading nautical training to students from the Royal Navy, Royal Fleet Auxiliary and Merchant Navy. It offers access to a highly sophisticated suite of engineering and bridge simulators to enhance learning. I am very grateful to Chris Keenan, Dean of the Faculty of Nautical and STEM, and Gus Grubb, Dean of the Faculty of Education and Humanities, for a fascinating and informative tour. I was also privileged to meet Dr Paul Little CBE, Principal and CEO of the college, and an Honorary Captain in the Royal Naval Reserve. Follow @cognautical for more. #CityOfGlasgowCollege

Last week I joined UK Minister for Veterans and People, Louise Sandher-Jones MP, Johanna Baxter MP and Paul Sweeney MSP for a visit to @sightscotlandveterans' Hawkshead Centre in Paisley. We were shown around the impressive facilities by Bryce, an RAF veteran who uses the centre every week and who told us what a difference the support from Sight Scotland Veterans makes to him.
