The new programme will provide free one-to-one psychotherapy sessions and community therapy groups for young people with parents in the British Armed Forces, delivered by qualified therapists from The Owl Therapy Centre.

The services will be delivered free across England and are funded by the National Lottery Community fund, allowing for the provision of individual therapy sessions for 100 children, and 50 group sessions.

The one-to-one therapy sessions will be open to young military children up to the age of 18, and will include six hour-long therapy sessions with one of the Owl Centre’s psychotherapists.
