We are a grassroots organisation committed to improving military parental mental health and early parenthood experiences for the Tri-service community.
How do we support military families?
We provide online peer support to individuals on a one-to one basis, and group session. We’ve also created a very caring and non-judgmental online peer support forum exclusively for military families (Dandelion Connect), have teamed up with Reading Force to facilitate an online book club; uniting like minded individuals from our community through a love of books.
In addition to this we are collaborating with national organisations like Sands, to bring strategic level support to military families who have experienced bereavement; and working with stakeholders from the military and healthcare sector to raise awareness about the multi-faceted challenges we face, particularly in the perinatal period.
Seeds of Strength
Our Seeds of Strength peer support network has helped to connect and support military families, but we want to do more. By fundraising, we want to train more peer supporters in perinatal mental health, enabling us to offer a wider range of peer support groups to cater to more of our community, so that no military family feels alone.
