We are Combat Stress, the UK's leading charity for veterans' mental health. We believe military trauma shouldn’t destroy the lives of veterans and their families. When some military personnel leave service, their experiences can’t easily be left behind. Without treatment, psychological trauma can eventually tear lives apart. We have over 100 years of experience caring for veterans and our role today is to help those with some of the most complex challenges, like PTSD. Through our ongoing clinical research, we continually develop our cutting-edge mental health expertise and we work closely with veterans to better understand trauma recovery. This allows us to deliver life-changing clinical treatment, bringing together professionals with specialist focus to meet individual needs. Giving veterans the tools to manage their mental health and helping them on their journey to recovery. Our services are depended on by thousands. No one else does what we do. Help us support more veterans to tackle their past, so that they can take on their future. We are proud to have achieved a Silver Award from The Defence Employer Recognition Scheme (ERS). The ERS encourages employers to support the Armed Forces community past and present and inspire others to do the same. The scheme encompasses bronze, silver and gold awards for organisations that pledge, demonstrate or advocate support for the Armed Forces community, and align their values with the Armed Forces Covenant. As part of our pledge to the Armed Forces community, we’ve enhanced our employment benefits for former serving personnel. This includes two weeks paid mobilisation leave for reservists and adult cadet volunteers, and guaranteed interviews for veterans providing that they meet the essential job criteria.
