Our Objective

PURPOSE

To give veterans a sense of purpose in life after service. And to give athletes a sense of purpose in being part of something bigger than themselves.

MENTAL HEALTH

Optimise community mental health. Deliver affordable or fully funded mental health training to community groups, junior sporting teams, developing women's leagues.

CONNECTION

Connect veterans to athletes and athletes to veterans to share lived experience. Connect veteran coaches and athlete ambassadors to local community. Connect local community groups to role models.

A SELF-AID PROGRAM
FOR YOUR TRIBE

Veterans leaving the military are trained in the Recalibr8 mental health self-aid course. Those who excel in this training are then trained as Recalibr8 mental health team leaders and coaches.

Our V8 Program connects these coaches with elite athletes, who then work together to deliver Recalibr8 training to your team, tribe, organization, league, or community group.

The program gives a sense of purpose to Veterans in life after service. It allows Veterans to connect with elite athletes to share lived experiences. And it provides an opportunity for them to deliver mental health self-aid training to community groups to optimize the mental health of its people.

Through the V8 Program, your tribe, organization, or community members will benefit from improved and optimized mental health and increased self-awareness of mental health issues. It will boost morale and productivity by getting proactive about mental health self-aid and teaching participants a variety of coping and management skills. And it will develop an increased sense of community by allowing your tribe to connect with role models and high-performing people within their own community who have lived experience in overcoming adversity

SUPPORT
THE PROGRAM

The V8 Program is a mental health self-aid program that brings together veterans and athletes to deliver mental health training to community groups. The program is designed to improve mental health and provide participants with the tools they need to manage their mental health.

We are currently searching for athletes to train, and also need send veterans through the Team Leader and Coaching courses. To fund this we need donors to sponsor the costs involved in training.

Your support would allow us to train more veterans and athletes, and deliver the V8 Program to more community groups. This would have a positive impact on the mental health of thousands of people.

We are committed to providing people with the tools they need to manage their mental health and optimising their life. Your sponsorship would help us to make a real difference in the lives of many people.
