'Military Mind': Supporting The Forces In The Workplace

To mark Mental Health Awareness Week, forces charity Combat Stress is hosting an event called "The Military Mind".

It's a forum for bosses and mental health professionals to discuss best practice in supporting veterans and reservists at work. 

Combat Stress, a mental health charity, says about a third of the people who come to it for treatment are in work.

It adds, however, that another third tell them they would like to work, but wouldn't be able to take time out for treatment.

The charity believes there's increasing understanding and awareness of mental health issues in the military and wider public, but that more is needed in the workplace.
