Can we help you?
We are the UK’s leading charity for veterans’ mental health. We know that life after leaving the Armed Forces can be difficult for some – talk to us if you’re struggling with your mental health.
Many of the veterans that seek our help, know that something isn't right (often for years), they just don't know what is wrong. To help understand if our services might be right for you, take a look at the list below. If you find some of the symptons are similar to how you feel, talk to us.
Since your military service, have you struggled with any of the following?
- Feeling disconnected from others
- Feeling on edge and easily irritable
- Losing your temper more often than you’d like
- Avoiding things that you would like to be part of your life
- Feeling anxious or having panic attacks
- Having unwanted memories or nightmares
- Finding it difficult to trust others
- Feeling you are worthless or a bad person
At a time that can be isolating and daunting, we’re here to help.
About Combat Stress
We are the UK’s leading charity for veterans’ mental health. We know that when some military personnel leave service, their experiences can’t easily be left behind.
For over 100 years our specialist mental health treatment has helped former servicemen and women recover from trauma. Our role today is to help those with some of the most complex challenges, like PTSD.
We support veterans of all backgrounds from every service and our life-changing treatment is provided by our expert clinical team. Our services are available across the UK, in-person and online.
We also recognise the value of veteran support networks and provide peer and family support alongside our evidence-based clinical treatment.
We can help you tackle your past so you can take on your future.
