Military

Leaving military service is one of the most studied — and most under-supported — identity transitions in the UK.

What changes

Military service builds identity through training, deployment, uniform, rank, unit and shared mission. On leaving, all of these can change at once.

Resettlement support typically focuses on housing, employment and benefits. These matter, but they do not, on their own, rebuild identity.

Where AURIS fits

AURIS adds the identity layer that traditional resettlement does not reach: awareness of what is happening, understanding why, regulation skills, identity reconstruction, and stability.
