Get Social
Simple activities like sharing a coffee or catching up for a chat helps keep people connected and start to have important conversations about wellbeing

Whether it’s having a yarn with fellow veterans at your local pub or meeting up for a game of golf, staying social cran be greatly beneficial for your mental and physical wellbeing. All it can take sometimes is a conversation.
