About Us
The Root Cause Project CIC was founded by veterans who understand the unique challenges of military life & mental health.
North Devon is home to more than 8,000 veterans. We recognised that local services – despite their best efforts – often struggled to make a lasting impact due to a lack of first-hand understanding of the realities of military life. We created the Root Cause Project as a safety net for veterans and serving personnel.
We know that true healing begins with honest conversations, especially when shared with those who have lived similar experiences. We’ve combined our mental health expertise, survival skills and military experience with the healing power of nature, to offer a space where our military family can find the support they deserve.
Whether you miss the camaraderie or need someone to talk to, we’re here to help break down the barriers surrounding mental health in the military.
All veterans and serving personnel are welcome to join our sessions if you’re able to travel to us!
While our main focus is in North Devon, we recognise this is a national need. Our goal is to expand the project to support as many veterans and serving personnel across the UK as possible.
More than half of England’s veterans have experienced mental or physical health issues since returning to civilian life, and some are reluctant to share their experiences
