How we know our treatment works

At Combat Stress, we encourage veterans to share feedback both while they’re having treatment with us and after they’ve completed it. We collect feedback from veterans using online questionnaires where they can record their symptoms, wellbeing, goals and overall experience of receiving help from Combat Stress.

This feedback helps us know whether a veteran has recovered, whether our services are valued and if they are making a difference. Our clinicians will also ask veterans for feedback throughout their treatment journey so they can assess the effectiveness of their care and adjust this to ensure the veteran's needs are being met. It also helps us identify trends and patterns for the benefit of the healthcare sector and veteran community as a whole.

Thanks to our commitment to collecting clinical data, we know our treatment works. The latest outcome data from our intensive treatment service shows that 85% of veterans achieved a clinically significant reduction in PTSD symptoms: and 59% no longer met the criteria for Complex PTSD.
