LET US UNTANGLE YOUR IDEAS INTO REALITY!
Combat Stress, the UK's leading veterans' mental health charity, has been providing life-changing and often life-saving assistance to former servicemen and women for over a century. Our mission is to help veterans rebuild their lives after experiencing psychological trauma during their military service. We believe that no military trauma should destroy the lives of veterans and their families.
Our organisation specialises in supporting veterans grappling with complex mental health issues such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, and depression. Many veterans find it challenging to leave their experiences behind when they leave the armed forces. Without proper treatment, psychological trauma can have a devastating impact on their lives. That's where we come in.
Our Services: Tailored Support for Veterans
At Combat Stress, we take great pride in being the only intensive mental health treatment service dedicated to UK veterans. We provide clinical treatment and support across the UK, both in-person and online, at a time when isolation and daunting challenges can leave veterans feeling overwhelmed.
Our services include:
1. Helpline (0800 138 1619): Our confidential, 24/7 helpline is staffed by trained individuals who understand the unique challenges veterans face. We're here to listen, provide advice, and offer guidance.
2. Treatment Programmes: We offer a range of evidence-based treatment programmes designed to help veterans manage and overcome their mental health issues. Our programmes include individual and group therapy, occupational therapy, and psychoeducation.
3. Peer Support: Connecting veterans with similar experiences can be incredibly beneficial. Our peer support network allows veterans to share their stories, learn from one another, and build supportive relationships.
4. National Veterans' Voice: This initiative aims to raise awareness of veterans' mental health issues and reduce stigma by sharing the personal stories of those we've helped.
5. Accessing Our Services: We strive to make our services as accessible as possible. Our self-guided online help and resources, as well as our guides on specific mental health conditions, provide valuable support for veterans and their families.
Impact: Saving Lives, One Veteran at a Time
Combat Stress has a proven track record of helping veterans and their families. In the last year alone, we've helped over a thousand veterans and handled countless calls on our helpline. With every 1 raised, 85p is spent on veterans' treatment and support, leaving a lasting legacy for future generations.
A Call to Arms: Support Us Today
Your support is crucial in helping us continue our vital work. You can make a difference by donating, volunteering, or becoming a corporate partner. Together, we can ensure that veterans receive the help they need and the respect they deserve.
For many veterans, the battle continues long after they leave the armed forces. But with your help, Combat Stress can be there to provide the support they need to reclaim their lives.
Scathing Review with Contrasting Opinions
The charity, Combat Stress, has been met with both scathing criticism and glowing praise from various individuals. Raoul Duke's scathing review accuses the organization of being a "scam" that "supports Veterans' Mental Health" only superficially, citing a lack of support for those who develop mental health issues outside of operational service.
Positive Reviews
On the other hand, the majority of reviewers have expressed overwhelmingly positive sentiments towards Combat Stress. Many have praised the organization's supportive staff, clean facilities, and various services aimed at helping veterans with mental health issues. Steve Arnold, Ryan Campbell, Tony Packer, Russell Page, Maggie Bennion, Ian Waddell, Sandra Gale, and John Plank have all given the organization 5-star reviews, citing experiences that have been life-changing and emotionally uplifting.
Negative Review
While not as intense as Raoul Duke's review, Anthony Manmohan's 4-star review does mention the limitation of Combat Stress' services, stating that they can only support war veterans who have left the service. Nicholas White's 4-star review is more positive, describing the charity as a "first-class Mental health unit" with plenty of parking spaces in a tranquil setting.
