The Icarus Charity. The ICARUS CHARITY was formed by two veteran therapists in 2017, in response to the increased number of veteran suicides and the number of veterans unable to access the vital help and support they needed from the conventional services.
ICARUS has now become one of the leading specialists in PTSD and complex trauma.
