Veteran support charity, Mates4Mates, is calling on the community to put in a call over Christmas to a veteran who may be isolated.
Mates4Mates National Clinical Manager and Clinical Psychologist, Georgia Ash, said there’s been an increase in veterans presenting mental health challenges this year and she expects it to continue to rise.
Open Arms provides 24-hour care via 1800 011 046 for veterans and their families, and Lifeline provides 24-hour crisis support on 13 11 14.
