What a huge month!!!
💙 I had the honour of spending four weeks with 5 courageous souls through The Marian Centre's Trauma Recovery Programme. I am so proud of them and can't wait to see what amazing things they do next!
💚 We talked about PTSD and it's symptoms, how to manage these, and what life post service is going to look like.
❤️ The course was enhanced through our amazing guests (pictured below):
- Sam Murphy, Navy-vet, powerlifter extraordinnaire and all round awesome bloke
- Kristian Lannu, Army-vet, DVA advocate and AVAC Services founder who looks after veterans with heart
- Matt Cross, ex-prison officer, PT bad ass and Prep Factory founder, whose own story inspired
- Peta Monley, Army family and audiologist who shared how to manage Tinnitus
- Nathan, Andrew and Jess from Open Arms. Who showed the team how Peer Work can help you relearn how to socialise and find new meaning in life.
- Jason Donaldson, ex-WAPOL and Breath Work coach who taught the guys how to breathe their way out of panic and anger, and encouraged them to join the Men's Group in Cockburn to continue sharing with courage.
- Jane Inglis from Buddy Up, Army-vet and all round beautiful soul, whose story and warmth encouraged the team into physical activity and volunteering.
- Sean Haran from Beyond the Badge, ex-WAPOL, who reminded the crew of all the amazing hidden skills and attributes uniform service provides and that are valuable to civilian employers.
- Thanks also to our mystery guest. A former participant who showed there is life after trauma. You rock! You know who you are.
Next course starts August 22nd.
