Health and Wellbeing - Message from Army's Senior Health Advisor

As many of you look forward to some well-earned summer leave, I wanted to take this opportunity to signpost the mental health & well-being resources and support over this period.

No one in the Army family should feel alone and, no matter what the problem is, there is a wide range of support available. To assist all, support and/or advice available is summarised in one communication below:
