Veteran mental health has become a critical national issue, especially in light of The Royal Commission into Defence and Veterans Suicide, which revealed alarming rates of suicide and mental illness among veterans.
With insights from both Breakthrough CEO John Mannion and ADF veteran Professor Ben Wadham, this segment explores the current state of veteran mental health and what actions are being taken to address the crisis.
