Mental Health & Wellbeing Services

Mental health and wellbeing

There are many aspects of life in an armed forces or veteran family that can affect mental health and wellbeing.

That’s why we have worked with this community to co-produce our mental health and wellbeing services.

We know many aspects of forces life can impact mental health and wellbeing.

We also know parents, educators, and wider professionals can sometimes need a little extra help to support young people to understand and overcome mental health and wellbeing challenges.

That’s why we co-developed our Your Mind Matters Digital Hub full of information, advice, podcasts, and downloadable resources.

Lilly-Grace’s Story

Having received one-to-one support from our Lighthouse Project Service, we worked with Lilly-Grace to co-produce a short video about the difference it had made to her mental health and wellbeing.

The Lighthouse Project is delivered at Queen Victoria School in Dunblane, funded by The Veterans Foundation.

Making a positive impact

We measure, monitor and report impact using our organisational outcomes framework.

Our indicators extend to the number of children and young people receiving support, the level of wellbeing reported, the number of resources and tools accessed, and the level of knowledge and understanding of mental health.

We measure impact using the Core YP Scoring Scale and similar assessment tools, feedback from children and young people and parents, teachers and wider professionals, worker assessment, distribution numbers of our wellbeing journals and digital analytical tools, such as Google Analytics and HotJar, to measure downloads of our mental health and wellbeing resources and tools.

Your Mind Matters – Over 92% of pupils who completed a minimum block of six weeks of one-to-one support have seen an improvement in their wellbeing using internationally recognised assessment tools.

Lighthouse Project – 92% of pupils who received one-to-one support improved mental health and wellbeing outcomes compared to their previous recorded levels. 96% of pupils who attended peer support and drop-in sessions stated the sessions had positively influenced their abilities to adopt effective strategies to address mental health and wellbeing challenges.
