Interesting facts about the lack of support for Veterans at this level. It’s ok for larger charities to sign post vulnerable veterans into the grass roots organisations. Just Transfer to other or completely terminate the risk. Black holes for veterans. linkedin.com/posts/the-bloc…

Homeless, rejected, broken, ashamed, that’s how yesterday’s case feels. Self medicating is a common trate for veterans with complex PTSD, unfortunately this one is post treatment for his addiction and a dangerous relapse now leaves him without support & accommodation.

Always a lot more difficult to crisis manage these cases at a weekend, but we have successfully managed to accommodate and active a support plan for this homeless ex Green jacket veteran.

We have been working with three different homeless veterans in Liverpool this week all with a range of complex needs, involving addiction and complex mental health including PTSD. All three cases where street homeless during our first contact, not sofa surfing.

Due to the speed we work from the point of contact , which is much faster than average it can take a number of days before support and accommodation can be aligned by the local authorities and commissioned services. #Preventing #Suicide

Are all veteran Services experiencing a spike in demand? We had a peak in April but have had to use a triage system this week for the first time in 2025 in order to handle the homelessness & crisis management referrals this week.
