Combat Stress

We provide specialist clinical treatment and support for veterans from the British Armed Forces, focusing on those with PTSD, Complex-PTSD, and moral injury resulting from their experiences during military service. When some military personnel leave service, their experiences can’t easily be left behind.

We believe military trauma shouldn’t destroy the lives of veterans and their families. For over a century, we’ve helped former servicemen and women recover from mental health problems such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Combat Stress is the UK's leading veterans' mental health charity, the work we do is life-changing and often life-saving. No one else does what we do. We provide the only intensive mental health treatment service to UK veterans. Our services are provided across the UK, in-person and online. At a time that can be isolating and daunting, we're here to help.

We are looking for enthusiastic people to join our team across the UK as community fundraising volunteers - representing Combat Stress to support veteran’s mental health in their local communities through fundraising and raising awareness of our work.

We will give people freedom to explore and discover, to create stories and become part of ours. 

VISION

  • To be a place that improves people’s wellbeing through culture, heritage and nature
