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.

Another excellent day at the SAFE&R Conference at #EdinburghNapier today - I heard from a range of speakers, delegates and attendees at a hugely well-attended session on Ex-Service Personnel in the Justice System, which will help inform my upcoming report on Veterans and the Law. Yesterday I had the chance to meet this @bravehound_uk dog and its owner - very apt for #NationalDogDay 🐕‍🦺

The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo has a nautical theme this year, with the @royalnavy and the @rnrmcharity. I was privileged to attend this spectacular performance and meet some of the outstanding Service personnel from the cast. The show is a stunning international celebration of music, drill, and dance. Crucially, our Serving and veteran communities will benefit from the charitable arm of the REMT.

Excited to attend the first day of the SAFE&R conference 'Identity, Purpose and Belonging' at @edinburghnapier's Craiglockhart campus. The afternoon commenced with an excellent talk on the Scottish Soldier by Professor Sir Hew Strachan. Much more to come over the next six days. #ScotAFConf24
