Combat Stress’ Post

A traumatic experience during the first Gulf War left Army veteran Guy with serious mental health issues. He became angry, started drinking heavily and wanted to end it all. Knowing he needed help, Guy called our Helpline and received our life-changing treatment. Today Guy has a new lease of life and is a steadfast Combat Stress supporter, helping us in a wide variety of ways. In recognition of his unwavering support, last year he was named our Veteran Volunteer of the Year for everything he does to give back to the charity. “I can’t sugarcoat it,” he says. “If it wasn’t for Combat Stress, I’m not sure I’d still be here.” You can read more about how Guy turned his life around here: https://ow.ly/3f4W50Vuz6L

You’re a real trooper mate. Right through our nursery, primary, junior and the intensity of teenage hood and adult life. We’ve been there, seen it and done it all to the best of our ability. Well done buddy.
