Here is WO2 Bull's story:
I have personally benefitted from MIND (Abingdon) services, the last couple of years have been extremely turbulent for me, we ‘as a family’ have been victim to three family bereavements in the last 14 Months.

Clearly, this had a massive negative impact on my outlook on life, MIND offered me talking therapy which help me understand my feelings and positively greave whilst keeping my family’s
wellbeing intact, for me I learnt that “its ok, not to be ok”! They provided me coping mechanisms to alleviate the overwhelming feelings of helplessness and isolation.

As a serving soldier I understand just how hard it can be to admit that you need help, the tough exterior that we portray can act as a barrier between being comfortable in our own skin. However, acknowledgment that help is required is the first step to wellbeing.
