The Mind Force Retreat Project

What Is The Mind Force Retreat ?

It is recognised that many veterans, wounded injured or sick require continued opportunities to help treat poor mental health. The Mind Force project provides the necessary access to non-judgmental, non-clinical therapies in a natural and relaxed environment.

Poor Mental Health can be stigmatic, in particular in the perceived ‘labelling’ of those conditions. Veterans may also struggle changing their own mindset from Military to civilian, causing further problems, withdrawal from society and isolation.

The Mind Force Retreat aims to:

Provide a respite from daily life in a relaxed, holistic environment.
Provide access to a range of therapies that can aid recovery.
Improve Mindfulness and Mental Health Awareness.
Aid in removing the stigma surrounding Mental Health issues.
Provide opportunities for reflection and to ‘re-set’ negative thoughts and processes.
Provide a safe environment to express anxieties and seek necessary solace.
Provide ongoing support to beneficiaries through partnership working and referral.

Designed by veterans, bringing like-minded people together on a mission to end the stigma connected to mental health in currently serving Armed Forces personnel, Veterans and Blue light emergency services.

The retreat program is scheduled throughout, but not strict, clients can take part or site back and relax when they like, all sessions are designed to provide vital mindfulness tools.

The Mind Force Retreat is exclusively for the Armed Forces and Blue light community, bringing like-minded people together, delivering assistance with transition, delivering lessons on how to deal with stress, anxiety, burn out and depression.

Veteran COMMUNITY Support

Veteran support is a vitial part of our project, we select vetetans for volunteer and paid work on future projects and our team connect with veteran organisations across the U.K. we deliver advice and refarrals in order to help veterans understand their local communities and supporting networks.

Mindfulness Yoga sessions & Tai Chi

Yoga guides the use of physical postures, rhythmic breathing and meditative exercises to evoke a relaxation response, rather than a stress response. With regular practise, any given situation can become less threatening as yoga releases neurochemicals in the body which produce a healing, calming and restorative effect on the mind.

ART AS Therapy

We work alongside therapists whom bring together their unique non clinical style and specialist areas such as creativity and art as therapy. Our guests have the opportunity of joining in our group therapy sessions or one to one.
