Combat Stress

Combat Stress is the UK's leading military charity specialising in the care of Veterans' mental health. We look after men and women who are suffering from a psychological condition related to their Service career. This might be depression, anxiety, a phobia or PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). We provide specialist clinical treatment at three short-stay residential centres in Shropshire, Surrey and Ayrshire and an expanding community outreach service, delivered by teams of Mental Health Practitioners, Community Psychiatric Nurses, and Regional Welfare Officers. Our services are free of charge to the Veteran. The demand for our care is on the increase; we are contacted by well over 1,000 new Veterans each year and we have never been busier. We are already seeing Veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to add to the list of the many men and women of earlier conflicts and peacekeeping missions who currently need our help. Your financial support is vital to ensure we can offer this specialist support long after the war is over.
