Veterans Support
If you need help right now, in the UK
Samaritans are available free on 116 123, 24 hours a day, for anyone in distress. If life is at immediate risk, call 999.
Veteran specific support in the UK
The GOV.UK veterans support directory lists national and local services for veterans and their families, including mental health, housing, money and employment support.
You can also call the veterans helpline free on 0808 802 1212, answered 24 hours a day.
If you are outside the UK
AURIS works with people worldwide, and our research and learning are not limited to one country. We do not hold verified support directories for every country, so we will not point you somewhere we cannot stand behind. For urgent or specialist support, contact the relevant emergency, healthcare or veteran support service where you live.
If you are outside the UK, contact the relevant emergency, healthcare or veteran support service in your country.
What AURIS is, and is not
The AURIS Identity System and related AURIS content are not therapy, a medical device, or a crisis service, and are not a substitute for professional support. If you are in crisis, please use the services above first.
If what you are looking for is help with who you are now the role has gone, our military transition support page gathers the research and the free learning in one place. There are also free guides, checklists and templates you can print and work through on your own.
How we keep this page accurate
Every support reference on the site is audited automatically, and the latest forensic content audit is published here. Review date 19 August 2026.
Talk to AURIS about life after service
If you are a veteran, a family member or an organisation supporting service leavers and you want to know which AURIS course or resource fits, send us a short message. We reply within two working days. AURIS is not a crisis service.
