#FloatToLive:

- Tilt your head back with ears submerged
- Relax - try to control your breathing
- Move your hands to help stay afloat
- Once over the initial shock, call for help or swim to safety
- Call 999 or 112 and ask for the coastguard.

Remember it. Share it.

Reaching out for support can be daunting – the path to recovery is different for every person, and it can be helpful to know what your treatment path will look like.

At Combat Stress, the first step of our treatment plan involves helping veterans understand post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and preparing for our specialist therapy by equipping them with techniques to manage their emotions.

Look out for our Spring Appeal, where you can read more about our typical treatment plan for veterans with complex mental health conditions.

*Shares my interest in orthopedics*

“You don’t look like the ortho type.”
“I don’t see you doing ortho.”
“What if you have kids?”
“You’re too bubbly to be a surgeon.”
“Don’t do surgery.”

You know who has NEVER said these things to me? Orthopedic surgeons. #orthotwitter
