Following the Royal Commission into Defence and Veteran Su***de, understanding Moral Injury has become an important part of supporting the wellbeing of veterans, serving members, and their families.

Join us for an informative community education session presented by Chaplain Stan Fetting, Regional Chaplaincy Manager with the Department of Veterans' Affairs, as he explores what Moral Injury is, how it can impact individuals, and why awareness matters.

📅 Sunday, 2nd August
⏰ 10:00 AM (followed by morning tea)
📍 Gaythorne RSL

This event is open to veterans, families, carers, and members of the wider community who would like to learn more about this important topic.

Hosted by Gaythorne RSL Sub-Branch in collaboration with Sub-Branch Hon Padre David Niven CSC.
