Last week, along with 300+ people who are passionate about the wellness of others.
I attended the inaugural Australian and New Zealand Moral Injury Conference.
I’ve taken some time to let the learnings sink in as they were profound and relate to my journey and that of Well Beyond Service.
I gained many insights, here are a just a few.
💙Firstly to understand what Moral Injury (MI) is and how it has impacted so many of us in our service roles and indeed life. It is a human thing to care and have values.
💚An awareness that PTSD and MI treatments are different - you can have both of them at the same time or each one separately.
💙An insight that some treatments for PTSD can exacerbate an MI and prolong healing.
💚Understanding that there is no way to avoid MI on the job or in life- it’s about raising awareness and promoting ways to heal,recover and reconnect beyond the injury.
💙Exploring the different areas of brain activation of PTSD and MI, gaining an appreciation of how the different parts of your brain firing can lead to overwhelm, fatigue and stuckness.
💚Peer support, community based recovery is one of the useful treatments for MI and something we experience around our campfires by sharing, listening and validating others.
💙Knowing that we are on the right track for supporting wellness beyond our service roles by exploring identity, language for wellness and creating a safe space for people to simply be and heal.

The next conference is in Hobart in 2027.
Highly recommended for your personal/professional knowledge and anyone leading or supporting people.
The presenters were fantastic, there were resources galore and the amazing humans that shared their lived and professional experiences were next level🙌🏻

Another great resource and wellness option to add to the list 🙌🏻

"Triumph over Trauma" Programs - 2026 and 2027

The Foundation's "Triumph over Trauma" Programs provide a unique rehabilitation opportunity for those who have served our Communities and our Nation and who may be suffering with PTSD or related mental health concerns.

The Programs are open to military and first responder personnel, past or present. If you would like to inquire about attending one of the Foundation's "Triumph over Trauma" Programs, please reach out to the Foundation on 0408 817 678 or via email to [email protected]

These Programs are provided at no-cost to Participants.

From one of our Program Participants:

“My focus now is post traumatic growth and taking the micro steps required to become a better version of my former self. Through the program I have discovered a new hope for a positive future and greater reasons to live.”

The 4 Aussie Heroes Foundation is committed to serving our Heroes and humbled to have the opportunity to be part of the journey with these great Australians.

A special day reflecting, remembering and recognising those that have served.
Gladstone and the surrounding small towns made mighty contributions to early war campaigns. The ripple effect of service was felt by generations who either lost a loved one or supported a loved one beyond their service.

We remember them 💕

They shall not grow old,
as we that are left grow old.
Age shall not weary them,
nor the years condem.
At the going down of the sun,
and in the morning.
We will remember them.

Lest we forget.

As a part of each program we look at what wellness resources people are accessing 🙌🏻
These are the lists from our recent programs that have some really useful information.

The lists don’t include all that is out there, it would be an enormous list!
We acknowledge that each of these resources are valued for their role in meeting the needs and supporting people at different points in their wellness journey.

If you know a resource that our Veteran and Emergency service communities may find useful - please add them in the comments.

We’re all in this together 💙

Why debrief in an office, when you can do it on horse back 🤠🤎
Suns out, Louiès tongue is out and the great feedback from our weekend is rolling in 💕

Based on the quality feedback received so far from our participants, staff and community members. Our Veterans & Partners program has met and exceeded expectations 🙌🏻

Giving our feedback and learnings some time to soak in, we look forward to delivering this worthwhile program again 💙
