Lez Perry
PTSD Lived Experience Expert
Lez Perry served in the Royal Pioneer Corps 1972-1985, including a 2.5 year tour of Northern Ireland.
“When I left the army I had no idea that there was anything wrong; it was everyone else, but I was fine.
I have an ex-wife, a my current wife, a total of 4 daughters, 12 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren — and I’m only 66. I’ve worked many jobs since 1985, including a position as an outreach worker and counsellor for a substances-misuse agency in the North East of England.
After 27 years, I got the diagnosis my wife had been suggesting to medics for years. Now, I want to use my experiences and insights to help others get the support they need.”
