Invisible Injuries - Podcast
The Invisible Injuries podcast is aimed at improving the well-being, mental health and lifestyles of Military Veterans, First Responders and their families suffering/experiencing the effects of Post-Traumatic Stress (injury). By sharing our “Stories of Hope” , we’re creating a strong, meaningful connection with our audience through our lived experiences and what’s worked for us in our self-care which serves as a navigation guide for others to make informed decisions on what may work best for them on their recovery journey. At the grassroots, we’re engaging with the local community, providers and external services organisations (doing great things). By unifying their common goals and also serving as a brand ambassador for their initiatives we’re streamlining the process of how the our audience can access information, support services and activities.
