Veterans: Navigating the Triggers of Days of Significance [KATOOMBA]

Does the Veteran in your life find days of military significance hard to navigate? Do you find yourself becoming anxious or stressed in the lead up to these days?

You are not alone. For many Veterans and their families, these important days in the military calendar can trigger a lot of emotions and feelings, including anger, anxiety, depression, melancholy and many more. Together, we will explore your experiences in a trauma informed manner and work out ways that we may be able to minimise the impacts of these hard days, on you, the veteran you care for and your families.

Please note: These sessions are especially for people who provide unpaid care to family members or friends, as recognised under the National Carer Recognition Act. This means the sessions are not suitable for paid carers, support workers or service providers, unless you also provide care for someone personally outside of your professional role.

Carer Gateway Wellways recognise a Carer as a family member or friend who supports someone living with mental health, addiction, long term injury, disability or frailty. We offer FREE supports to Carers including counselling, coaching, finical coaching, in-person peer support groups, emergency respite and more.

Carers can also access to our Carer Hub in Katoomba, register to speak with our Age Care Navigator or get supported from our partners with Dementia Australia, Little Dreamers, Relationship Australia and My Dementia Companion App for FREE.
