Military Minds

Giving families of British Army and Royal Airforce serving personnel the emotional wellbeing support they need and deserve.


Military Minds

Our Military Minds service provides support for serving British Army and Royal Airforce families.

Run by Solent Mind, in partnership with the Armed Forces Covenant Trust, 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.

Military Minds can offer:

  • A friendly chat with someone who understands what you are going through
  • Free resources to help you manage your mental health and wellbeing
  • Signposting to local services and groups, depending on what's available in your area

The service is run by staff with lived experience, and we are in constant discussions with the Army and RAF family community to ensure our support is as relevant as possible.

Call 0303 003 4239 to speak to a member of the Military Minds team, available from 9am until 4pm, Monday - Friday, email militaryminds@solentmind.org.uk or complete our self referral form.

Do you live in Hampshire?

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.

Coping with deployment

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.
