SSOP Annual Camp 2019 Narrative Evaluation: A critical investigation of the impact of a military veteran parent with mental health issues or PTSD upon childhood biography

Since 2015, SSOP has held annual camps to support the emotional health and well-being of children and young people from veteran families. The camp takes place every year over five days during August. In the spring of 2018, SSOP held the first camp for parents. The purpose of the parent camp is to educate parents on the personal development of their children participating in SSOP’s annual camps.

SSOP also offers coaching for families as well as individual targeted help for children and young people in veteran families, such as: family counselling, psychological counselling and therapy, mentors (‘bigger brother’ or ‘bigger sister’), education counselling, bridge building to the public services and mediation with schools.
