The SUPPORT Programme
The SUPPORT Programme provides professional, military-aware mental health and bereavement support to adults and children within the Scotty’s community.
For those who need a little more help than community connection our SUPPORT Programme can offer specialist therapeutic intervention. Our services include:
1:1 Bereavement Support
Individual bereavement support and counselling for children and adults delivered by qualified practitioners who only work with the military bereaved.

We also work with specialist partners. If our offer isn't right for what you need, we can help connect you with someone who can help. It's important to us that you don't need to keep repeating your story so we won't just signpost you elsewhere.
Get in touchIf You're Worried About Safety
If you or someone you know is in crisis, please reach out straight away. Call 999 in an emergency, or get in touch with our team for signposting to crisis support.
