Veterans Mental Health Event - Autumn 2026

 

Help us shape our Veterans Mental Health Event!

Healthwatch Essex are planning a Veterans Mental Health Event set to take place in Colchester this autumn, with lived experience speakers and a panel discussion, military charities and support services, and entertainment from a lineup of veteran comedians.
