How We Can Help?

At The V Word, we're dedicated to the strength of community, connection, and collaboration.

 

We partner and collaborate with organisations to offer our members streamlined access to essential services, including mental health support, financial assistance, addiction recovery resources, and career advancement opportunities.

 

Our platform serves as a hub for fostering connections among our members, offering a safe space to share stories, experiences, and reconnect with that unique bond often missed after leaving the service. (Please do check out our members area and set up your own group!)​
