Finding It Tough?

Are you or someone you care about finding it tough?

Throughout 2020, the RAF Association is holding free, online mental wellbeing training courses for non-serving members of the RAF family.

Who’s the course for?

All partners, parents, brothers, sisters and children (over 18) of anyone serving in the RAF

All RAF veterans and their families

Anyone working on an RAF base (e.g. MOD civil servants and defence contractors)

We welcome people who want to improve their own mental wellbeing, as well as anyone who wants to support their friends, family members and colleagues, and spot any signs that they might be suffering too.

What will it cover?

The online course will help you to recognise that you’re not alone. Everyone struggles with life from time to time and we’ll discuss how being part of the wider RAF family brings its own unique challenges.

We’ll help you to see things differently and learn practical steps to overcome some of your biggest challenges – or those experienced by the people you care about – helping you and others to take the first steps to get back on your feet and take control of your life.

You’ll learn about the following six habits for developing resilience:

Focusing on control

Knowing yourself

Thinking differently

Reaching out

Finding purpose and focus

Connecting mind and body
