Operation Resilience

The Operation Resilience Program is a free, structured 6-10 week initiative designed to help participants build emotional wellbeing and practical coping skills in a supportive setting. 
GROW aims to provide intentional peer to peer services for ADF veterans and their families to build individual and collective resilience. 
We believe in building the strength of community and in the power of shared understanding, where Veterans and Spouses, in specialised groups, can come together to learn, grow and support one another using their unique but shared collective wisdom.
Together we create a community of understanding, hope and strength.

Get Growing

10-Week Program for aged 11-17 years

 Early intervention for school aged participants can help to prevent mild depression which can often develop into deep despair. Get Growing is delivered in a structured, safe, peer group setting where young people are encouraged to share their stories, challenges, successes and progress with each other, while offering mutual support. Individuals learn that they are all intrinsically valuable and equal human beings who share similar problems. Building on their strengths and abilities, young people are encouraged to change aspects of themselves which no longer serve them. Get Growing is facilitated by a specially trained program worker and the supportive group program helps young people build important friendships. The small group environment also creates a supportive space where participants can safely share their stories and challenges.

About GROW

GROW is a community-based organisation that has helped thousands of Australians with their recovery from mental ill-health through a unique program of mutual support and personal development.

Established in Sydney in 1957, the founders were drawn together by their first-hand experience of mental ill-health. The wisdom they gained in helping each other overcome life’s challenges and move toward recovery was carefully recorded and this forms the basis of our GROW programs.
