Open Arms Playford SA – Stepping Out

Making the transition from military to civilian life can be a big change for you and your family. Stepping Out is a free, two-day group program designed to increase the awareness of important wellbeing, personal and social adjustment factors and to support ADF members and partners as they are transitioning, or who have transitioned, from the military to civilian life.

Current and former serving ADF members and their partners may attend (together or separately) as transition affects the whole family.

There are no time restrictions for veterans and partners to attend Stepping Out.

The program focuses on such things as:

• how to successfully adapt to change
• the differences between military and civilian culture
• planning ahead and managing expectations
• understanding motivation and self-care
• maintaining relationships and seeking support
