Recording // Finding Purpose After Service – Free Webinar

Transitioning from military to civilian life can be a big adjustment – for veterans and families alike. Finding a new sense of purpose, reconnecting with community, and navigating identity shifts are all part of the journey.

Watch the recording of this free 60‑minute webinar where an inspiring line‑up of speakers will unpack these important topics and share their lived and professional perspectives:

  • Marc MacDonald – Psychologist, Mates4Mates
  • Michael “Mick” Lorrigan – Defence Liaison Officer, Disaster Relief Australia
  • Jessica Holmes – Community and Peer Team Leader, Open Arms
  • David Lauw - Assistant Director - Lived Experience, Open Arms

Together they’ll explore:

  • The difference between a day in the life of serving vs. ex‑serving members
  • The importance of identity beyond service
  • The role of community in recovery and purpose
  • Help‑seeking and support pathways
