05.01.2022 Although we're all physically separated from our usual networks, it’s important we all remain connected. So VSA is working to create a community of support, enc...ouragement and connection the only way we can - online!! We'd love you to join in - watch the video, start tagging #vsamovement and share with us! What would you like to see more of - let's stay in touch. We can’t wait to share the creative ways that veterans and their families from around Australia are staying active!

05.01.2022 The greatest antidote for depression is finding your purpose. What is your purpose you say? Take some time and focus on your dream, your values and your connect...ion. Be mindfully aware of your silent observer and the presence of divine intelligence. Simply ask "What is my purpose?" and "What is my role in the bigger picture?" Be silent and listen without using your ears. Be aware of heart messages and your sense of knowing. Be Mindful... Pause... Connect!
