Bring them home
PTSD can mean
some soldiers never leave the battlefield
Bring them home, all the way home
Living near you are veterans so traumatised by conflict that their minds are frozen in time, back on the battlefield.
They might have returned to life at home, but psychologically they’re still locked in combat.
PTSD means they're trapped in the worst moment of their lives.
We believe men and women who fought for our country deserve our help. Each year we provide life-changing treatment and support to thousands of veterans, but we need to do more.
In the last ten years, demand for our services has almost doubled. Our own data and that of the MoD predicts this demand to rise even more in the years to come.
We rely on donations to meet this growing demand. A gift from you could help more veterans leave the battlefield behind and come all the way home.
"I'd completely lost it."
Colin struggled adjusting to civilian life after serving in the Army for 18 years.
“I was having problems sleeping and I was getting more and more irritable. Within six months of leaving the Army I was getting divorced.
“Bouts of aggression caused problems at work, and I kept having time off. I’d completely lost it.”
Eventually Colin was referred to Combat Stress, where he was diagnosed with delayed-onset PTSD, depression and anxiety. He then went on to complete our six-week PTSD Intensive Treatment Programme.
“It was like somebody had suddenly lifted a weight off my shoulders…Combat Stress opened my eyes to what’s wrong with my mental health and how I can look after it.”
Your donation today will help more veterans like Colin leave the battlefield behind.
