Matt Fossey of the Centre for Mental Health spoke to Jenni Murray on Radio 4's Woman's Hour just over a week ago about the impact of alcohol abuse and mental health problems on the partners and children of Service personnel and veterans. The programme is still available to listen to online here: http://bbc.in/K1wi6h
The Centre has also published a report which calls for more research is urgently needed into the emotional needs of the families of those in the armed forces. It argues that a lack of research into domestic violence, alcohol abuse and mental health problems and there impact on the families of those in the UK armed forces means that their needs are going unmet.
