Military and Emergency Services Health Australia (MESHA) is dedicated to providing education and information to those seeking or receiving mental health services. Knowledge is key.
The more we understand about the challenges we are facing, the better equipped we will be to recognise and address any difficulties that may arise.
There is a wealth of information out there to assist military and emergency service personnel and their families gain insight into the symptoms they are experiencing, the resources available to them and the factors that will hep them feel more in control of their condition(s). The difficult part is where to find them.
