Charity has spent a century aiding veterans recovering from wartime experiences
Combat Stress is the UK’S leading charity for veterans’mental health.
It has been helping former servicemen and women deal with trauma-related mental health problems such as anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) since its foundation as the Ex-servicemen’s Welfare Society almost a century ago.
It offers life-changing treatment to veterans from every service and every conflict, either over the phone or online, in the community and at its specialist centres.
When a veteran asks for our help, Combat Stress develops a programme of treatment and support to meet their individual needs.
That can range from an hour a week at a peer support group meeting close to home to its six-week residential PTSD treatment programme at one of its specialist centres.
A spokesperson for the charity said: “We know that invisible injuries can be just as hard to cope with as physical ones.
“O ur services help veterans cope with the present, tackle the past and take on the future.
“Some may find using just one of our services will transform their lives, others may need more to start living again.
“But our expert team will be there to help every step of the way.”
