Online Programs

Open Arms is proud to deliver online mental health services tailored for veterans and families. This expands Open Arms’ digital mental health offerings, making it easier for veterans, families, and carers across Australia to access support—no matter where they live.

You don’t need to be an existing Open Arms client to get involved and is delivered in partnership with an established provides of health services to the Australian community. 

Shoulder to Shoulder

Delivered by SANE Australia, "Shoulder to Shoulder” offers two forums—one for veterans, and one for families and carers—created to offer peer-led, anonymous spaces to connect and be supported. Co-designed with the veteran community and trauma experts, both forums are moderated by mental health professionals, accessible 24/7 on any device, and provide connection, resources and peer support from people who ‘get it’.

The Shoulder to Shoulder forums bridge the gap between support systems and enable people to access the right level of care when needed. The service model is one grounded in compassion and understanding that people have unique and individual experiences, reflecting a commitment to lived experience through a co-design process.
