For Veterans and families

Combat Stress provides effective treatment and support to Veterans of the British Armed Forces who are suffering from mental ill health. 

We now also offer the Combat Stress 24-Hour Helpline for the military community and their families which can advise on various issues from mental health to practical support.

The helpline can be reached on 0800 138 1619.

If you or perhaps someone in your family has a problem, then please call us for an informal chat.

Our services are free of charge and regardless of War Pension/Armed Forces Compensation Scheme status. 

If you have a concern about mental health, we have people in your area ready to take your call –8.30 am to 4.30 pm, Monday to Friday.  Simply click on your region in the map below for contact details of your local Support Desk.  

Veterans do not have to have seen active service in order to qualify for our help – but if you are in any doubt, just ask us.
