Giving families of Royal Navy and Royal Marines serving personnel the emotional wellbeing support they need and deserve.
Our Anchoring Minds service provides support for Royal Navy and Royal Marine serving personnel and their families.
Run by Solent Mind, in partnership with the Royal Navy and Royal Marines Charity, we help families navigate the unique challenges of military life. From coping with deployment to specific support for anxiety, depression, loneliness and stress, we're here to help.
Anchoring Minds can offer:
The service is run by staff with lived experience, and we are in constant discussions with the Navy family community to ensure our support is as relevant as possible.
Call 0300 303 1725 to speak to a member of the Anchoring Minds team, available from 9am until 4pm, Monday - Friday, or email anchoringminds@solentmind.org.uk
If you're living near us on the south coast, we can also offer face-to-face or home appointments. Call us for more information.
There's no right or wrong way to feel about deployment but it does bring a range of emotions and challenges.
That's why we've worked with families with lived experience of military life on these resources.
We're here for you, whether see us in person, speak to us on our national number or want to access our online content below.
Whether you're a military partner or serving personnel, our friendly team are here to help.
