The following RnR Course will be starting in 2026 and we are inviting early expressions of interest for our online and in person cohorts. Please email us at enquiries@forward-assist.com to register your interest.
Reset and Recentre will provide structured, medium‑term support that bridges the current gap between crisis intervention and long‑term recovery for Army veterans. It is designed to reduce distress, improve functioning and strengthen community connection, so that participants can sustain gains made in NHS or other charity services and avoid relapse into crisis.
The R&R one-hour workshop is run bi-weekly, aimed at two separate cohorts, one supporting veterans specifically, and one open to veterans and the general public combined. The purpose of this is to provide veteran specific spaces and concomitantly spaces for veterans to assimilate into the community. Each individual workshop provides up to 10 spaces and each session is standalone or can be taken as a whole.
The Heroines Journey Course will be starting in 2026 and we are inviting early expressions of interest from female combat veterans for our online and in person cohorts. Please email us at enquiries@forward-assist.com to register your interest.
This is an 11-week course for female combat veterans, providing one in person group session per week, with activities to complete at home in between meet ups, and personal one on one weekly checkins with each beneficiary. Providing up to 10 spaces per course, run 4 times per year, for a yearly total of 40 beneficiaries.
The Heroine’s Journey course, likely to be the first of it’s kind in the UK, is a profound psychospiritual journey that aims to guide women to cultivate a path of fulfilment, living from an integrated authentic self and healing internalised patriarchal wounds and repairing the disconnection from their feminine nature. It validates the cost of adaptation to masculine systems, guides the healing of emotional wounds left unspoken in military life, helps rediscover inner balance, community and identity beyond service and transforms the warrior into the whole women.
In practical terms, expected outcomes for women completing The Heroine’s Journey include improved emotional regulation, reduced symptoms of anxiety, depression and PTSD, stronger social networks with other women veterans, and increased confidence in parenting, relationships and work. Meaningful change will be tracked using simple, validated wellbeing and functioning measures, participant feedback, and follow-up interviews at 3 and 6 months to understand sustained impact and inform future development. For the wider Army community, this should translate into reduced use of emergency or crisis services, improved family stability and a greater likelihood of women veterans sustaining employment or meaningful activity.
Forward Assist provide support and guidance to former servicemen and women that experience difficulties in adjusting to a new life as a civilian. Forward Assist offer intergenerational support to both male & female veterans and their families. The veterans we work with are aged 18-100 years of age and come from a diverse range of cultural backgrounds.
