STRUGGLE WELL?
Struggle is part of service life, and part of life after service. Struggle Well is a two-day course
that treats it that way. It doesn’t wait for things to go wrong. It gives participants practical
ways to work through hard experiences and grow from them, using the science of
posttraumatic growth.
The Boulder Crest Foundation developed Struggle Well in the United States for military,
veteran and first responder communities. Frontline Mental Health Alliance, a not-for-profit
charity, is Boulder Crest’s exclusive delivery partner in Australia. The Alliance is bringing the
course to Wagga Wagga with Pro Patria Centre, funded through Wagga Wagga
ClubGRANTS.
Over the two days, participants will:
• Learn why struggle is a normal part of service and life, and why talking about it early
makes a difference.
• Understand posttraumatic growth and the five areas where people commonly grow
after hard times: new possibilities, deeper relationships, personal strength,
appreciation for life, and spiritual or existential change.
• Leave with practical tools they can use at home, with mates and in the workplace.
