Hi everyone,

I am conducting a study exploring the identity of female veterans living in NI as a part of an MSc Psychological Science at Queen’s University Belfast. As a part of this study, I would like to interview as many women as possible who served after the disbandment of the WRAC, WREN or WRAF and who now live in Northern Ireland.

I am hoping that this study will inform future support to help more military women to make a healthy transition to civilian life.

If you would like to be involved, then please get in touch by emailing me [email protected]

Please feel free to share this with your network if you know anyone who might be interested.

Many thanks in advance,

Jen Robinson
