What we provide

Combat Stress provides a dedicated service for Veterans whose mental health condition is often complex and long term. This service is NOT routinely available in the NHS or elsewhere.

A small, but significant, number of Veterans leave the Armed Forces with a severe psychological wound such as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). A symptom of PTSD is the frequent tendency to recall life-threatening incidents, which can lead to day and night terrors, mood swings, panic attacks and phobias.

Other debilitating conditions that Veterans may suffer from include depression and/or anxiety disorders.

Combat Stress offers:

Specialist clinical treatment at three short-stay residential centres in Shropshire, Surrey and Ayrshire.
An expanding community outreach service, delivered by teams of Mental Health Practitioners, Community
Psychiatric Nurses, and Regional Welfare Officers.
