What support works best for children and young people from Armed Forces families, and how can we evidence it? The SCiP Alliance Impact Centre is bringing together professionals for a nationwide Listening Tour to explore these questions, with dates in Scotland from 27 May.

Alongside the book launch, this webinar will explore real-life experiences of Armed Forces families and how professionals can support them. Book your free place: eventbrite.co.uk/e/maxs-big-mov…

Written with children and young people from Armed Forces families and beautifully illustrated by Catherine Lindow, Max’s Big Move tells the story of a young boy whose Mum leaves the Armed Forces, and what happens when his family leaves the patch behind.

When a parent leaves the Armed Forces, this means big changes for the whole family. This new book is here to help children navigate the transition. Join us on 26 May for the launch of Max’s Big Move! 📚

Here is an upcoming webinar for Service Leavers, Veterans and their partners. This session will provide practical guidance on housing that is tailored to Forces families, considering home ownership, private renting, and access to social housing. eventbrite.co.uk/e/housing-opti…

Mental Health Awareness Week begins today, reminding us to Take Action. #MHAW Even the little steps we take to support mental health and wellbeing can make a big difference, to ourselves and those around us.

This Carers Scotland Highland Roadshow, taking place on 2 June in Inverness, will showcase direct, meaningful support for unpaid carers. Over 25 organisations will be present, offering referrals, wellbeing support, and access to breaks and services.

Being a young carer can be overwhelming, and young carers from Armed Forces families are an under-recognised group. But support is available to make things easier for young people with caring responsibilities.

This initiative will help young people overcome academic setbacks from transitions and exam-related stress, two key themes from our recent report into Forces children's education.

Accessible anywhere in the UK or overseas, the programme is designed to fit around the realities of Naval life and offers up to sixteen hours per year. Learn more: forceschildrenscotland.org.uk/news/go-learn-…
