Military And Police Support of West Tyrone

MAPS mission is to promote advocate and address, where possible, the needs of ex-service personnel and their partners, who have suffered as a result of the troubles in Northern Ireland. MAPS is committed to addressing the identified needs of those physically socially emotionally or psychologically traumatized or bereaved as a result of their occupation, by ensuring specific accessible affordable services designed to meet each beneficiaries identified need.

We provide a successful drop in centre and concentrate on low level support for people who have felt alienated since discharge. Our befriending service is most important to reintergrate people back into the community and look after the health and well being of an aging population many of whom are now on their own.

Complementary therapies, courses, information classes and coffee mornings all assist in the journey from being identified, nurtured and supported to being a fully functioning member of society again.

We have seen that these simple stages are the most important for the majority people to come forward and address their needs rather than full on intervention for a few.
