Developing a formal model of peer support for bereaved military families
This study aimed to develop a formal model of peer support for bereaved military families in the United Kingdom (UK) that is co‐designed, inclusive, and integrated within the existing bereavement support system, without requiring affiliation with specific associations. The need for such a model was identified through a previous study (McGill et al., 2022), which examined the long‐term impact of military bereavement and recommended the development…
LGBT Veterans and Moral Injury

Widowhood can have a negative impact on health and wellbeing. Social support, extending activities, and group memberships help facilitate adjustment. However, the incidence and negative consequences of widowhood may have been compounded during Covid-19, as the social distancing measures imposed resulted in reduced access to social support and services. This study aimed to explore widowhood experiences during and following the pandemic. The study …
It Was a Complete Violation of Everything
Introduction This is the first empirical study carried out in the UK to examine the devasting impact of the policy to ban all gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender personnel under exemptive military laws and their resultant support needs as military veterans. The so-called “gay ban” policy was enforced with the rationale that homosexuality was incompatible with military service. Methods In the UK between 2021 and 2022, 15 LGBT + veterans took pa…
Investigating the Moral Challenges Experienced by UK Service Police Veterans
Previous research has explored the negative effects of exposure to potentially morally injurious events among armed forces veterans and active-duty military personnel generally. However, this current pilot research provides a unique contribution to the extant research literature by examining the specific moral challenges experienced by a potentially at-risk and under-researched sub-group of military personnel. Semi-structured interviews were cond…
The Relationship between of Moral Injury and Radicalisation
The impact of moral injury on the wellbeing of UK military veterans
The results provide preliminary evidence that potentially morally injurious experiences are associated with adverse mental health outcomes in UK AF veterans. Further work is needed to better understand the interplay between morally injurious events and threat-based trauma in order to design effective pathways for prevention and intervention for people exposed to highly challenging events
The DREAMS core package of interventions
In sub-Saharan Africa, adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) are 5 to 14 times more likely to be infected with HIV than their male peers. Every day, more than 750 AGYW are infected with HIV. Many factors make girls and young women particularly vulnerable to HIV, including gender-based violence, exclusion from economic opportunities, and a lack of access to secondary school. The President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) is dedicating s…
