About Us
Our Vision
WE WANT ALL FORMER SERVICEMEN AND WOMEN WITH MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEMS TO LIVE FULL AND MEANINGFUL LIVES
Our VALUES
TOGETHER
We are united in purpose, collaborative in action
Former servicemen and women are at the centre of everything we do. Working together unites us in our care and commitment to them, and we achieve more, faster. Reaching out to collaborate with colleagues from all disciplines and working in partnership across Combat Stress should be the norm, offering support to make things happen, planning our activity together and avoiding the temptation to ‘go it alone’. With a clear Vision, Core Goal and Strategic Aims to rally around, together we have the power to achieve great things for those veterans who need us.
FOCUSED
We’re clear what we will and won’t do to deliver the best outcomes
We help veterans cope with their mental health problems and we are confident, professional and transparent about our priorities. We have a clear view of what success looks like for Combat Stress. We innovate yet always stay focused on standards, quality and results. We are always concerned with achieving beneficial outcomes, not just completing tasks and we keep the interests of veterans and donors at the front of our minds at all times. We can’t do everything, so we prioritise often and effectively.
BOLD
We’ll do and say what we must to achieve our organisation’s vision
We are ambitious in what we seek to achieve for and with veterans and ready and willing to take risks to be successful. Confident in our decision making we are courageous in the way we act to get even the most challenging tasks done. Veterans’ personal stories inspire us so we can inspire others. Brave when faced with difficulties, we know that it can be tough to challenge the status quo, share new thinking and ideas or go the extra mile to be better and grow. We are global practice leaders, confident and purposeful, prepared and equipped to speak out fearlessly, secure in the knowledge that our colleagues always support and respect us.
PERSONAL
We respect diversity and appreciate everyone’s individual needs and talents
We respect every individual’s skills, experience and diversity in the workplace and embrace the different thoughts, ideas and beliefs they bring to us. We care and show compassion for each other. Everyone is unique with different talents, different needs and different views. We are able to share our ideas, feel we belong and are appreciated. We enjoy work and feel fulfilled in our work. No one should ever feel isolated or left out, and everyone should always look for opportunities to celebrate the value that they and others bring as individuals to our organisation.
