SA Veteran Fostering Camaraderie in the Community

SA Veteran Chad McLaren joined the Australian Defence Force (ADF) in his early twenties, served in the Army in Timor, then became a medic and joined the Navy.

After leaving the Australian Defence Force 10 years later, Chad found camaraderie in community sporting clubs and founded a charity called Walk for a Veteran Inc. which raises money and awareness for veterans, defence force personnel and front line workers with PTSD. 

He joins Jennie Lenman this Remembrance Day to share his story.

PTSD support for veterans is available via Soldier on Australia and Heroes on the Home Front.
All South Australians needing mental health support can contact the Mental Health Triage Service - 13 14 65 (24/7).
