Combat Stress

Combat Stress

Specialist mental health treatment for veterans with PTSD.

Combat Stress is the UK's leading charity for veterans' mental health, with over a century of experience supporting those who have served. It provides specialist treatment and support for veterans from every branch of the military, focusing on those with PTSD, Complex-PTSD and moral injury; conditions that can take years to emerge and are often the most complex to treat.

From residential treatment programmes and one-to-one clinical therapy to a 24/7 helpline and self-guided online resources, Combat Stress offers a range of services tailored to each veteran's needs. It also supports veterans' families and complements NHS services by reaching those with the most complex trauma-related mental health conditions. Every pound raised helps a veteran get the specialist care they need to live a full and meaningful life.

Registered charity no. 206002 (England and Wales), SC038828 (Scotland).

4 steps to wellbeing
Sleep well

A good night's sleep is an essential foundation for a healthy lifestyle, effective training and weight control.

Train slow

Low-intensity training is easier for you, reduces the risk of injury and helps builds an efficient aerobic system.

Eat natural

Cut out sugar & junk food, reduce carbs, eat natural foods and train your body to burn fat for fuel.

Get outdoors

Fresh air, natural light and reconnecting with nature all help to improve mental and physical wellbeing.
