Lothian centre

V1P Lothian is the original project established during 2009. It was designed in collaboration with Veterans who were seeking a mental health and well-being service which understood them, as well as meeting their needs in a clinical manner for wider support and advice. The team consists of Veteran peer support workers, clinicians, therapists and an administration team.

We provide:

• Veteran Peer Support Worker led caseload management of welfare issues
• Mental health assessment and treatment with both Psychiatry and Psychology
• Self referral through afternoon drop-in, phone and email (we also accept referrals through GPs and other agencies)
• Peer Support Worker led activities including city walks, music groups, team sports, etc.
• In-house clinics from Citizen's Advice Bureau, Armed Services Advice Project (ASAP), Veterans UK.
• Female Veterans drop in
• LGBT drop in, in partnership with Fighting with Pride
