What is this study about?

We are carrying out this survey to understand the emotional wellbeing and support needs of the families of those who have served in the UK Armed Forces. This is greatly needed and could help in the development and maintenance of family support services across the 4 nations of the UK. Your responses will be critical in this process and your time and effort will benefit families like yours.

1. You are a relative (e.g. spouse/partner, now adult (18+years) child) of a Veteran who has served at least one day in any branch of the UK Armed Forces, but no longer serves (your relative may have also served or is currently serving with the Reserves).

2. You are a Veteran who has served at least one day in any branch of the UK Armed Forces as regular personnel and have since left service, (you are eligible if you have also previously or are currently serving in the Reserves).
