For over a century we’ve been helping former servicemen and women deal with issues like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety and depression. Today we provide specialist treatment and support for veterans from every service and conflict, focusing on those with complex mental health issues related to their military service.

Our 24-Hour Helpline is open throughout the festive period, so if you’re a veteran, or a family member or friend of a veteran, and you need support please call us on 0800 138 1619 or email helpline@combatstress.org.uk. Our sites will be closed from 4.30pm on 24 December 2024 until 2 January 2025 (Scotland 3 January 2025) and our social media channels will not be monitored during this period.

Thank you. We wish you a restful Christmas and Happy New Year.

We provide clinical treatment and support for veterans from the British Armed Forces, focusing on those with complex mental health issues resulting from their experiences during military service. When some military personnel leave service, their experiences can’t easily be left behind. Without treatment, psychological trauma can eventually tear lives apart.

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 with mental health problems such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety and depression.

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.
