Transitioning from military to civilian life brings unique challenges — and opportunities. In this webinar, a panel of veterans and support specialists will share personal experiences and practical insights on:
- The contrast between day-to-day life in service and post-service
- The role of identity during and after Defence
- How community and reconnection support wellbeing after transition
- Breaking down stigma and encouraging help-seeking around mental health
Panelists:
- Marc MacDonald – Psychologist, Mates4Mates
- Michael “Mick” Lorrigan – Defence Liaison Officer, Disaster Relief Australia
- Jessica Holmes – Community and Peer Worker, Open Arms
- Dion Cowdray – Community and Peer Team Leader, Open Arms
Join us for a thoughtful discussion designed to support veterans and families in building purpose and connection beyond service.
