With SOAR, you gain access to a supportive peer community that understands exactly what you're going through. Connect with fellow Veterans and Service-members who are on the same journey as you, ready to listen, empathize, and provide valuable advice. Whether you're facing anxiety, burnout, depression, or just need someone who gets it, SOAR ensures you never have to face your challenges alone. By fostering a sense of belonging and encouraging open conversations, SOAR breaks down the stigma surrounding mental health and empowers individuals to seek the support they need. By offering an anonymous platform, SOAR creates a safe space for users to share their stories, connect with others who can relate, and provide support to one another without the fear of having to reveal their identity. This sense of community and understanding is invaluable for Veterans and Service-members struggling with their mental health. It allows you to feel heard, validated, and less alone in your journey. Unlike other mental health services that primarily focus on access to professional therapists and counselors, SOAR recognizes the power of peer support in overcoming stigma and encouraging open conversations about mental health. The SOAR Veterans app also provides quick and easy access to professional support resources and national hotlines for users to utilize for additional support without being redirected off of the app. Don't let your mental health take a backseat. Get started today and embark on a transformative journey towards a healthier mind and an unstoppable spirit! Overcome the Mental Health Stigma on SOAR Veterans! • Write, talk, and anonymously post your personal story about your thoughts and mental health challenges to share with other Veterans who can relate to your experiences. • Scroll through our main community feed to read stories and posts shared by other anonymous Veterans and Service-members. This promotes a feeling of self-worthiness knowing that you are not alone in your struggles and that there are many others dealing with similar things. • Comment on posts from other Veterans to relate with them and show your support for their issues and challenges. • Direct message other community users who are facing similar issues and circumstances in order to show support for them, talk with them about their feelings, or lend advice and share tips that helped you overcome similar issues in the past. • Quickly access all professional health resources for Veterans and nearby support resources in just one-click! 24/7 Help is always Available. Feeling comfortable talking about your issues is the first step in getting better. Having access to an anonymous platform to share your story — without having to worry about what people may think of you — is the key to overcoming the current stigma in athletes and ultimately overcoming personal mental health struggles.

This community is for older veterans of the three United Kingdom Armed Services and the Merchant Navy. If you miss the comradeship and banter we took for granted as a soldier, sailor or airman then this app is for you. Use the app to find old comrades and make new friends easily in a safe, veteran-only community. Members can remember and share experiences and celebrate the bonds of comradeship unique to our uniformed service as well as navigate life’s challenges together in later life. The community platform allows you to join interest groups and forums, chat with your comrades, participate in on-line events and activities, access helpful content about such things as finance, health and wellbeing, and discover sources of support. As members we want to help you live a better life for longer whatever your circumstances.
