Join us for a special mental wellbeing webinar on the 5th November co-hosted by our Association and the Shropshire Chamber of Commerce.

During the Covid-19 pandemic we have found ourselves in unprecedented and never before experienced circumstances that has completely altered how we professionally and socially interact. For many of us, this in turn has led to considerable uncertainty, anxiety and fear of what the future holds.

What impact can we anticipate will emerge and how can we combat its effects? This Webinar will offer a short overview of how those with military experience could help in that fight and offer an insight into the current military approach to mental health, which will help to develop personal leadership in challenging times.

We have some fantastic guest speakers lined up to talk to you, including:

• Pete White – Pete White Consulting, veteran (RAF), mental health trainer, speaker, consultant and author who works closely with the NHS Veteran’s Mental Health Complex Treatment Service.
• Anne Segalini – Occupational Therapist lead for Defence Medical Rehabiliation Centre (DRMC), will discuss the DMRC’s experience around mental health and its approach to rehabilitation.
• WO1 Andy Johnstone 159 Regiment Royal Logistic Corps – formerly the Regimental Sergeant Major and Assurance Officer for the Army’s Personnel Recovery Capability, will provide an overview of a holistic tool used by the Army in order to assist individuals with Transition, Individual Life Planning and Personnel Development.
• Andy Sloan from Walking with the Wounded, will talk a little about their work with veterans to raise awareness of some of the challenges they and those they seek to support face
