SSAFA SUPPORT GROUPS

SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity offers three support groups, delivering a mixture of face-to-face and online, one or two-day events which facilitate peer support, provide a safe space to grieve and an opportunity for respite.


SSAFA’s support groups enable you to meet a network of people who have been through a similar tragedy, giving you the opportunity to talk through your emotions with an understanding compassionate group, reducing feelings of isolation and enhancing wellbeing.

MILITARY FAMILIES AFFECTED BY SUICIDE 
For anyone in the family unit (18+) who have been affected by the loss of a loved one through suicide of a veteran or Serving Armed Forces Personnel. 

FAMILIES OF WOUNDED, INJURED AND SICK PERSONNEL 
The FISP support group is for a spouse/partner/parent or carer (18+) of Armed Forces personnel who have been wounded or suffered an injury, or sickness. 

"Being in a group, able to express my feelings and hear others’ experiences was like a release."– SUPPORT GROUP PARTICIPANT
