Veterans Support

If something you have read here, or something in your own life, has raised something difficult, support is available. This page is the one place we keep up to date. The verified routes we hold are UK specific, and they are labelled that way.

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.
