Icarus was founded by two veteran therapists who recognised that, to be able to provide reassurance and effective support, having an understanding of military service is extremely important. This veteran-led approach remains at the core of our charity today.
Many of us within the Icarus team are either veterans ourselves or have close connections with the military and have first hand experience of some of the problems facing our veterans as a result of military service or with the adjustment to civilian life.
We speak the same language as those we support and we are proud to be part of the wider military family.
The icarus charity was formed by two veteran therapists in 2017, in response to the increased number of veteran suicides and the number of veterans unable to access the vital help and support they needed from the conventional services. It offers counseling, therapy, and mental health services, aiding veterans and their families in addressing psychological challenges stemming from their service. Their focus is on fostering well-being and resilience within the armed forces community in Scotland.
