About one in five Australians experience a mental health problem at least once in their lives. And it's no different for the veteran and defence force communities.
Deployment, coming home from a war or peacekeeping zone or returning to civilian life may have an effect on mental health and wellbeing. Some have not experienced mental health problems, others have sought help and recovered. But there are some who continue to experience difficulties. These problems can be identified early, managed and treated. This website is designed to help you or someone you know recognise signs of mental health problems and act to improve and maintain health and wellbeing.
**At Ease Evaluation**
Inviting Research Participation
The Department of Veterans' Affairs (DVA) has commissioned an independent evaluation of the suite of At Ease mental health resources.
The aim of the study is to assess and improve the range and quality of information on this website and the associated fact sheets and print materials. Part of this process includes interviews with members of the veteran community, their families, and health care providers servicing these groups.
DVA invites veterans, family members and health care providers to take part in the research. Please call Colmar Brunton Social Research, toll free on 1800 185 570 or complete the online form. Please note: Registering your interest does not guarantee you will be contacted to participate.
