What we do

Combat Stress takes a "whole person approach" to the care of Veterans with mental health problems.

This means that we offer residential, community and welfare support to help Veterans meet their everyday needs – needs that may have been neglected as a result of psychological injury.

Community outreach

In addition to short-stay treatment, in some regions of the UK we now provide community-based clinical care delivered by teams of Mental Health Practitioners (MHPs) and Community Psychiatric Nurses (CPNs). With funds raised through The Enemy Within Appeal we will establish this as a nationwide service.

We already operate a national network of Regional Welfare Officers, who provide practical support and advice to Veterans in their own homes. And, as the first point of contact a Veteran usually has with Combat Stress, they can introduce individuals to specialist treatment for their mental health problems.
