Forces Children Scotland support children and young people from armed forces and veteran families when it comes to mental health and wellbeing, education and learning, financial help, and much more. Forces Children Scotland provide life-changing experiences which help develop new skills, build confidence, and make friends with other young people with similar experiences. 'Ruby Boots' is a project in which young people in the process of leaving the forces will be joined in a series of group sessions at school with peers who are already in a veteran family. Over a course of 6-8 weekly sessions, they will discuss the transition from military-veteran and give the young people a safe space to talk through any worries they may have. A volunteer facilitator will join the staff member and help to facilitate the group sessions through games and conversation. In the summer, we will also launch online support groups and so would like volunteers to also be involved in this. Though most of the support will come from peer-peer interactions within the groups, the facilitator will be involved in conversations which may touch on topics such as confidence, loneliness, being a young carer, amongst other worries
