Scottish Veterans Care Network:- Mental Health & Wellbeing Action Plan

The Action Plan aims to ensure veterans can lead a healthy, positive life and reach their full potential by accessing timely, high quality wellbeing and mental health services, no matter where they live. The Mental Health and Wellbeing Action Plan serves as a ‘blueprint’ for better designed and co-ordinated mental health and wellbeing services, supporting veterans to access the right help at the right time, delivered in a way that suits their individual needs. The Action Plan has been co-produced by people who know and understand what it is to serve in the Armed Forces and their families, alongside people who know about health and mental health care and service design and implementation. Through the SVCN, they have joined forces to address the long standing need to ensure that our veterans can access consistently high quality services, regardless of their location.
