Moderated

You are not alone – real stories of recovery and resilience brings together lived experience voices from across Australia to share honest reflections on what recovery can look like over time — from planning and learning, to taking steps forward. The conversation will explore the resilience of families and carers, what helps during difficult moments, how broader pressures like cost of living and current events can affect wellbeing, and the role of connection, peer support and belonging in feeling supported.

This webinar may be helpful if you’re veteran, partner, family member, friend, carer, support someone who has served, or want to better understand veterans’ family experiences.
