The issues that our former service personnel face have been well documented, from post traumatic stress disorder, to depression and anxiety; members of the military face a number of mental health challenges as they transition to civilian life.
As a veteran Dane Christison knew all too well what his former colleagues were going through, and in 2012 he founded Survive to Thrive Nation – an organisation that focuses on helping former service men and women with their mental health, and taking their place in the community when their service is over.
