Yes. There are several stages to this.
There is the work that the Ministry of Defence will do with the individual as they are coming to discharge from the armed forces. There will be a lead-up to that discharge, which will help them with re-skilling, if appropriate. Certainly if they have been injured there are the recovery centres, and lots of other training goes on that will help with that transition back into civilian life. It's not necessarily with a mental health focus but with a life skills focus, if I could put it that way.
With the mental health piece, that's a component of it, if you like. The evidence suggests that most are leaving the services fit and well, with not too high an instance of mental health problems. Mental health problems would appear to come forward a year, two years, three years or longer after the discharge from the services.
