Supporting veterans
Proudly supporting our veterans
The Combat Stress 100 project is a true insight into the impact of living with military trauma. Unfiltered, unguarded and profoundly moving accounts from UK veterans highlight the agony of living with PTSD and the toll this, and other complex mental health conditions, can have on veterans and their families.
Undertaken to mark our centenary, the project was made in partnership with reminiscence charity Age Exchange. It was made possible thanks to funding from the National Lottery Heritage Fund, and of course the veterans who so bravely shared their stories.
Please be aware: the Combat Stress 100 Project (comrpising of a Podcast, Film and Living Archive) is not suitable for those aged under 16. It contains strong language, as well as upsetting descriptions of combat, trauma-related events and the realities of living with a serious mental health issue.

Combat Stress 100 Film
This 60-minute film captures the compelling stories of military veterans – the camaraderie of basic training, fighting on the front line, the devastating impact of PTSD, and their enduring strength to rebuild their lives. The film was made by eight veterans with mental health conditions who were treated by us. They were trained to film and conduct interviews with fellow veterans who have also been supported by the charity. Across the UK, veterans sat down in front of the camera and gave unfiltered, unguarded and profoundly moving accounts of their experiences. To watch the film, click the link below.

It contains strong language, as well as upsetting descriptions of combat, trauma-related events and the realities of living with a serious mental health issue.
