Combat Stress Helpline

A team of specially-trained professionals are available day and night to provide free confidential advice and support.

We're here for you whether you’re having a tough time, having trouble sleeping, experiencing flashbacks, feeling depressed or anxious, or just feeling that something isn't quite right. If you’re a family member or carer worried about the mental health of a loved one, or need to talk to someone yourself, you can call the helpline too.

Combat Stress, the UK's leading veterans' mental health charity, provides clinical treatment and support for veterans from the British Armed Forces, focusing on those with complex mental health issues resulting from their experiences during military service. When some military personnel leave service, their experiences can’t easily be left behind. Without treatment, psychological trauma can eventually tear lives apart.

For over a century, the charity has helped former military personnel with mental health problems such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety and depression.

Combat Stress services are provided across the UK, in-person and online. At a time that can be isolating and daunting, the charity is here to help.
