About Us

This service is a true partnership between Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust and Combat Stress, the well known UK mental health charity, who have regional teams across the country.  As such we aim to make your experience of using this service as smooth and efficient as possible. 

Whether it is a NHS worker who follows up your query, or someone from Combat Stress, they will be operating to the same principles in order to ensure, if necessary, as seamless a journey as possible as you move from initial assessment to, if appropriate, focused intervention.  Your issues and concerns will be treated with the utmost respect and in confidence, by workers trained specifically in this field.  However, if your needs could be met better in other services, then the teams would discuss appropriate onward referral with you.

Note that if you live in Cornwall or Gloucestershire, you may be referred to their existing services.  We will always discuss that with you and ensure an effective handover.

If you are looking for help, please contact us via the secure form on the Contact page.  We will take referrals from veterans themselves, their families or carers, or from any health or social care professional or recognised charity.  Professional workers may wish to refer to our dedicated Support page.
