Open Arms – Peer Network 2020
The Peer Network(PN) is designed to provide practical advice and information to assist those supporting veteran's and their families. It is also a place to connect and discuss ideas and current challenges in the community.
The PN meets monthly to participate in free training workshops and information sharing. The agenda for these workshops is driven by the needs of the peers who attend these meetings and is coordinated by Open Arms staff. The meetings aim to assist the wider veteran community:
