Frontline Families
About Frontline Families
Thanks to a grant from The Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust, we are able to partner with Combat2Coffee to support service people, veterans, and their families across Suffolk.
Through this grant, Suffolk Mind is also offering free training to people who support military personnel and their families to cope with the effects of trauma and mental ill health.
Frontline Families offers courses on understanding mental health, supporting mental health, and understanding trauma.
We understand that there is less support for the partners, families and friends of those serving or veterans. This service is here to give you knowledge, practical skills, and the confidence to support yourself and those around you.
Free resources are also available for you to download on this page. The information includes Understanding Nightmares, Quick Tips for mental health, and advice on sleep.
Please note: this is not a crisis service.
For urgent help for you or someone you know, please contact your GP, visit A&E, call 999 or 111, or visit our Help Directory for more options.

- People currently serving in the armed forces

How do I get support?
You can self-refer using our online form. It usually takes about ten minutes to fill in.
When you reach the part of the form about the support you would prefer, please select as many options as you need to. We will then be in touch to talk about what is on offer, for example the next online course dates, or other support you’re able to access.
