The Support Hub aims to:
Develop a greater awareness of the support and services available to the Armed Forces Community.
Provide individuals with the confidence, knowledge, and skills to access timely and relevant support that meets their needs.
Reinforce people’s self-reliance, confidence, esteem, and empowerment to improve health outcomes and longer-term well-being.
Create a safe space for the Armed Forces Community to create friendship networks and support structures.
Offer opportunities to engage with the local community and undertake collaborative activities.
Additionally, access to training on topics such as stress management, panic and anxiety management, managing difficult thoughts, and mindfulness is available to the Armed Forces Community
Working in partnership with Lisa Rawlings, Armed Forces Covenant Liaison Officer for Gwent, Monmouthshire County Council will provide support in providing high-quality, timely, person-centred support to the Armed Forces Community. The Hub is further supported by a multi-agency approach, with relevant individuals from local associations and charities available to provide specialist confidential support and guidance, organisations such as Veterans NHS Wales, the Royal British Legion, Department for Work and Pensions, SSAFA, Woody’s Lodge, and others to ensure that all those attending feel safe and comfortable.
