Help for veterans in their time of need

Today we provide specialist treatment and support for veterans from every branch of the military and theatre of operation, focusing on those with PTSD, Complex-PTSD, and moral injury resulting from their experiences during military service.

Our unique and specialist services

Veterans with PTSD, Complex-PTSD, and moral injury may need a specialist team made up of different mental health professionals to help them and we provide this. Our own clinical staff work closely with each other and the veteran to develop a treatment plan that best suits their needs. We provide highly effective trauma care to veterans, focusing on those with PTSD, Complex-PTSD, and moral injury. Our clinical treatment is highly effective, demonstrating very strong outcomes and positive experiences. 

We complement services provided by the NHS and other military charities by providing treatment and support for those veterans who have some of the most complex trauma-related mental health issues resulting from military service. 

Our 24-hour Helpline 0800 138 1619 is available to all veterans and their families for confidential mental health advice and support. We also have a range of online self-guided resources, to help veterans with a variety of mental health difficulties, including: PTSD, depression, anxiety, anger, and alcohol and substance misuse. These guides have been created by our specialist clinical team, in partnership with veterans. Guides are also available for veterans' families and employers of veterans.
