Training from Care after Combat: Potential links between Military Service and Offending Behaviour

As part of our involvement with Thrive Together, Care after Combat would like to invite you, colleagues, student and any of your contacts with an interest in the Armed Forces or the Justice System, to a specific package of veteran / justice system awareness training developed for all services including charitable services who may be involved working with UK military veterans.

Potential links between Military Service and Offending Behaviour:

• Raises awareness of how military veterans might struggle to adapt to civilian life after serving in the armed forces and how, in some cases, that can lead to involvement with the justice system.
• Challenges commonly held beliefs or ‘myths’ that incorrectly link military service to offending behaviour and explore how that might adversely affect sentencing.
• Explains how the specific challenges that veterans in the justice system might face can differ significantly from non-veterans, especially around release from prison.
• Gives helpful examples of how best to provide support for veterans vulnerable to and who are involved in the justice system based on first-hand experience.

Events are being held across your region on the following dates and times.

To register please follow the link to the time and date you would like to attend. Places are limited for each session, so please book early to avoid disappointment.
