A BBQ TO REMEMBER
Together we can work to end the suicide crisis.
FIRE UP FOR MENTAL HEALTH
Swiss 8 is a proactive mental health charity, founded by Australian military veterans. We have lived through disconnection from mates, anxiety through workplace and lifestyle transition, and loss of identity and purpose after military service.
We want to share the lessons we have learned with the entire country, and we want you to join us. Keep your mates connected and host A BBQ To Remember.
