3-Day Wellness Programs

At Mates4Mates we get it – we understand the unique nature of serving in the Defence Force and the obstacles that can follow. To help you regain your purpose and better manage the daily challenges that arise, we have developed our 3-day wellness programs for younger veterans.

Funded by the Department of Veterans’ Affairs, these programs will enable you to identify and learn about your own emotions and injuries, learn practical ways to manage symptoms and navigate life’s stressors – all in a safe and supportive environment with like-minded veterans.

Each program is run by a qualified team of Mates4Mates psychologists and exercise physiologists, dedicated to helping you get the most out of the program. Topics addressed will include: 

• persistent pain 
• sleep issues and mindfulness techniques
• addiction issues 
• mental health strategies
• healthy relationships
• hydrotherapy
• yoga

You will take time out from everyday life and focus on your health and wellbeing with a small group of other like-minded veterans. All meals, accommodation and workshops will be provided at no cost (excluding transport).
