Our Commitments
Compassionate Connection
We provide a safe space where you can share your experiences without judgment. Our community of survivors, warriors, and allies stand together.
Strength in Vulnerability
We believe that it’s ok not to be ok. By sharing your story, you empower others and find strength in your own resilience.
Holistic Healing
Mental health is not just about surviving; it is about thriving. We offer resources, coping strategies, and holistic approaches to healing mind, body and spirit.

Whether you prefer virtual chats or face-to-face meetings, we are here. Attend our weekly online sessions or join us at local gatherings.
News & Events
A weekend away at Maverick Survival School
Mental Fortitude enjoyed a well‑needed break away at the Maverick Survival School, giving some of our veterans the chance to reset, reconnect, and learn new skills in the wild. Over the weekend we explored different ways of starting a fire, practiced traps and snares, and even had a go at knife throwing. As always, it was a brilliant time with Craig, Harry, and Phillipa, whose knowledge, patience, and passion make Maverick Survival School such a standout experience for our veterans. A weekend of laughter, learning, and strengthening the bonds that keep our community going.
New Workshop
Mental Fortitude is preparing to open a newly refurbished workshop space this December, creating a dedicated hub for Veterans and the Blue Light community. The upgraded environment will offer structured craft‑based wellbeing sessions, specialist equipment and a safe place for connection, resilience and recovery. This new space marks a major step in expanding our support and strengthening the community we serve.
Julys workshop sponsored by B.J. Leathers Walsall
Our July workshop comes with a bit of extra pride behind it — it’s officially sponsored by BJ Leather Ltd, Walsall. Jim has backed us since day one, and for the past 18 months he’s donated the hides that make these sessions possible.
Support like that hits differently. It reminds you that people and companies see the good you’re trying to do, they believe in it, and they stand with you. As veterans, it’s moments like this that make you feel proud of what you’re building and proud of having served.
