What do you need from this forum? Let us know in 5 minutes

Welcome to all our new Shoulder To Shoulder members.

We’d love to hear a bit about what brought you here and what you’re hoping to get out of it.

We’ve put together a quick 5-minute survey to help us understand who’s using the space and how we can make it more helpful for veterans and people in the ADF.

Your answers will be stored securely and won’t be visible to anyone on the forum.

Inside the survey, we’ll ask for your email so we can follow up with a second survey in a few months, BUT taking part is totally optional, as are all of the questions inside the survey, and your details won’t be shared outside SANE. https://q.surveys.unimelb.edu.au/jfe/form/SV_7aBEjP4zNi6FeE6

If you’d rather share your thoughts with the whole group, feel free to post here in this thread.

Hi All,

I came across this new forum by accident.    However I am glad to see that Veterans have a space to discuss topics that are meaningful to them and to connect with former serving members.   I served in the ADF for 11 years leaving in the early 2000’s.    

It gave me a lot of opportunities that one would not be able to do in a civilian career.   Mental health is important and  I feel part of the lived experience community.   Looking forward to see how this forum can  support veterans across a range of domains.

Hey @Rising-Up, thank you for sharing your experiences with the community!

Sounds like you had some great opportunities with your service in the ADF. I'm really glad that you have found a lived experience community.

Great to have you here in the Veterans space!

Take care
