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.

A fascinating afternoon yesterday in Stirling Castle at the Commonwealth War Graves Commission VJ 80 Commemoration. Another reminder of the suffering of Service people and civilians during War in the Far East. Lest we forget.

It was great to see the Veterans Minister @graemedeymsp launching the Veterans In Service Injury Network (VISIN) in Inverness today. This initiative delivers on a recommendation from the Scottish Veterans Commissioner, and will provide an additional layer of support through this dedicated pathway of care.

A pleasure to catch up with Sue Raw, Secretary of the War Widows Association following the extraordinarily poignant VJ Day 80 Anniversary Service at the Scottish National War Memorial. During the service we heard incredibly moving accounts from veterans and children of veterans. These brought to life the brutal conflict, which saw some of the most intense fighting of WWII and unspeakable cruelty toward prisoners of war. It reminds us of the debt that society owes to those who secured our country's freedom, and those who continue to do so.
