The Combat Stress Research Department was established in late 2013 by Professor Dominic Murphy. The department is co-located within the King's Centre for Military Health Research, King’s College London. The department has grown to have strong national and international links, becoming a leader within the field of military mental health, and continues to drive innovation.

The department has six main aims:

Understanding the needs of the veteran community
Trial new and innovative ways of delivering treatments to ensure that as many help-seeking veterans and their families as possible can access what they need
Disseminate to raise the profile of the veteran community’s mental health needs
Support national and international collaboration
Provide evidence to guide policy officers, service providers, government and clinicians to support the effective delivery of support to veterans and their families
Evaluate Combat Stress treatment programmes to ensure veterans are receiving the most effective care
