The 5 and 20 Mission

In this video, Steve Gaskell — former British Army officer, executive coach, and author of 5 and 20 — shares the mission behind his book: preventing suicide, breaking stigma, and building resilience across the military and veteran community.

The 5 and 20 Mental Health Check is a simple but powerful system inspired by the battlefield:
5 Check – Stop, scan yourself. Ask: Am I okay right now? What do I need?
20 Check – Look out for your buddies. Ask: Are they really okay? What’s changed since we last connected?

This life-saving practice helps service personnel, veterans, and families protect their well-being — and each other.

5 and 20 is now available on Amazon, FREE with Kindle Unlimited:

Join the mission:
• Read the book and share it with your regiment, veteran networks, and family.
• Start using the 5 and 20 mental health check daily.
• Help normalise conversations about mental health in the military and beyond.

Together, we can live by the code:
Check yourself. Check your buddies.
