This week on Invisible Service, Mel and Keresten reflect on their recent Mental Health First Aid training and the powerful lessons it taught them—not about fixing people, but about supporting them.

We talk about the importance of listening without judgment, breaking down the stigma surrounding mental health, and learning that sometimes the most valuable thing we can do is simply be present for someone who is struggling.

We also share how the course challenged our own thinking, helped reduce feelings of self-blame, and reminded us that asking for help is a strength, not a weakness.

Plus, we discuss exciting plans for future community wellness initiatives, including school holiday activities, campfires, connection events, and opportunities to bring Veterans and their families together in meaningful ways.
