SOCIAL CONNECTIONS
Social Connections activities encourage Defence personnel, veterans, and their family members to reconnect with themselves, each other, and to build links with the wider community.
EXPLORE OUR EVENTS
From our ‘Surf Therapy’ Program to coffee catch-ups, yoga classes to creative writing workshops, these programs and activities have a range of purposes and benefits to meet the various needs of those we support.
The benefits of engaging in social connections include building a network that provides support from the community, other Defence families and ultimately building meaningful connections with people.
