Veteran-led volunteer organisation Disaster Relief Australia (DRA) will announce the results of a two year study into protecting the wellbeing of veterans.

It followed the experiences of almost 800 DRA members exploring the ways service can restore purpose and perspective. Results suggest that volunteering is a viable and sometimes lifesaving option for those struggling to find purpose and meaning following military service.

If this conversation has raised any issues for you, you can contact Open Arms - for Veteran and families counselling 1800-011-046, or Lifeline on 13 11 14.

Guest:Geoff Evans, Disaster Relief Australia's Chief Executive
