The majority returning to ‘Civvy Street’ do so successfully.WHAT OF THOSE WHO DON’T?

2010: 20,000 veterans are in the criminal justice system, with 8,500 behind bars, almost one in 10 of the prison population.

Alcohol: For those serving in Germany, the biggest threat came not from the East but from alcoholism developed during the long hours off duty with a double vodka costing 24p!

A Strange World: Army veteran (22 years service)“You’ve never had to go hand and foot looking for anything, because it’s all been done for you. Again, it depends on how long you’ve served. You come out and it’s like a different planet... it’s like being in the planet of the apes.”

Abandoned: Army veteran (10 years service)“Once you were out the gates, that was you done. You were left to fend for yourself.”

Unemployed: “Where am I going to get a job? If there’s no work for civvies, there’s no work for ex-servicemen.”

Homeless?

Army veteran (24 years service, medically discharged 2010)“When you’re still in the Army, you can’t put yourself in for a house

and you can’t do the paperwork until you’re out of the Army.”

Rough sleepers Often these are ‘one nighters’ – seen once and then gone!Those seen on several occasions - but not enough to be living on the streets.

Intermittent roughsleepers

Includes rough sleepers who appear periodically for veryshort periods (street drinkers and beggars fit in here); those who return to the streets for less than the 3 weeks period.

Living on the streets To decide whether someone is ‘LOTS’ we use time on the streets (over a three week period) and the number of times found ‘bedded down’ (five or more contacts).

If a person is seen bedded down six times, during one week, or over a greater period than 3 weeks – rough sleeper applies.

Who are we talking about?

Crisis 2010/11 estimate 4,000 to 8,000 rough sleepers on any night: Government statistics for same period 2,000!

CHAIN (St Mungos) For the same period estimated a real population of 6,500 rough sleepers per night in London. The concern is ‘returners’ !

The Telegraph (26 Feb 2015)

‘Rough sleeping rises 55 per cent under Coalition’

Annual snapshot of statistics, released by the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG), shows that 2,744 people were found to be sleeping rough on any one night in the country in autumn 2014 - an increase of14%

London: 742 sleeping rough (25% of national figures)An increase of 37% on previous year!

Mental Health Issues?

Page 20: Ex-military? Still serving?. The Army Test “Have the actions or behaviour of a service person had, or been likely to have, an adverse impact on the efficiency.

Mental Health Risks: Still ServingA study of 10,000 serving personnel (83% regulars; 27% reservists) found lower than expected levels of PTSD. Common mental disorders and alcohol misuse most frequently reported mental

disorders among UK armed forces personnel. In particular, levels of alcohol misuse overall were substantially higher than in the general population.

The main findings were:• 4% reported probable post-traumatic stress disorder• 19.7% reported other common mental disorders • 13% reported alcohol misuse • regulars deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan significantly more likely to report alcohol misuse than those not deployed • reservists were more likely to report probable post-traumatic stress disorder

than those not deployed • regular personnel in combat roles were more likely than were those in support

roles to report probable post-traumatic stress disorder • experience of mental health problems was not linked to number of deployments.

Fear NT, Jones M,  Murphy D et al (2010). What are the consequences of deployment to Iraq and Afghanistan on the mental health of the UK armed forces? A cohort study. The Lancet (2010) 375 (9728): 1783–1797.

Mental Health Risks: Having ServedEstimated to be 5,000,000 veterans in UK; an additional 20,000 leave the forces each year - their healthcare transfers from military to the NHS!

Around 0.1% of regular service personnel discharged annually for mental health reasons (that’s 20). That said, some develop mental health problems after leaving, many will be experiencing PTSD. Until recently we knew little about these veterans. We do know is that just half of those experiencing mental health problems sought help from the NHS; those that did were rarely referred to specialist mental health services.

Veterans’ mental health problems may be made worse or caused by post-service factors, such as the difficulty in making the transition to civilian life, marital problems, and loss of family and social support networks. Younger veterans are at high risk of suicide in the first two years after leaving service. Ex-service personnel are also vulnerable to social exclusion and homelessness, both of which are risk factors for mental ill health. Alcohol misuse is also high.
