Mental Health Awareness Week
Did you know it was Mental Health Awareness Week? There’s no doubt that people’s mental health has taken a toll during the pandemic, not just those of us stuck at home, but also front line workers.
For many of us, the challenges will be eased as the Nation comes out of lockdown and heads back to normality very soon. However, for some people, that might not be the end of it.
In 1919, RBLI’s focus laid with treating WW1 soldiers with tuberculosis, but in today’s world, it’s the mental wounds that are more challenging.
Our range of PTSD patches below have been given to us by one our supporters Tim Brown who got together with RBLI beneficiary Paul Sapsford who was suffering from PTSD.
RBLI set Paul on the road to recovery by putting him through a counselling course and helping him back into employment. Together they have helped us raise funds to help others in the same situation and to support veterans in employment.
Every purchase of a PTSD awareness patch not only helps to raise awareness of the condition, but it helps to fund RBLI’s work in helping veterans with the condition adapt to civilian life, and gain employment.
