Over six months ago, we began delivering our Foundation Program at The Base with a single mission: to create a safe, culturally aware space for those carrying the mental weight of service.
We know the toll that combat, emergency response and high‑pressure environments can have and we’ve walked alongside many in their first steps toward stability, understanding and healing.
Over this time, our Foundation Program has focused on promoting stabilisation and where required, detoxification. Grounded in psychoeducation, the program aims to help participants develop emotion regulation and distress‑tolerance skills. The Foundation Program is a vital stage before progressing further in the recovery journey.
Today, we’re proud to share an important next step: the official launch of our Phase One Program.
Phase One is a three‑week, evidence‑based closed inpatient program dedicated to PTSD recovery. It blends trauma‑focused therapy with psychoeducation to equip participants with skills to support meaningful, long‑term healing.
If you're supporting a first responder or current or former defence member who may be struggling, or if you’re finding things difficult yourself, you don’t have to walk this journey alone.
We are here to provide support, understanding and connection at every stage.
