Forward Assist & Salute Her UK Share Research At “Virtual International Colloquium on Military Sexual and Other Forms of Abuse”.

The Australasian Services Care Network and the Open Door: Veteran Transition, Integration and Wellbeing Centre along with our partners extend an Invitation for you to join them for the launch of the “Virtual International Colloquium on Military Sexual and Other Forms of Abuse”. This Colloquium seeks to explore the issue of Military Sexual and Other Forms of Abuse and its impact on Military Service Members, Veterans and their immediate Family across the 5 Eyes Countries. The issue of Military Sexual and Other Forms of Abuse is not exclusively directed at a particular gender, those of different sexual orientation or any other group within the Military. It impacts people of all genders, orientations and backgrounds and for many it has lifelong consequences. The aim of this conversation is to shine a light on the issue and to share what we know about it and evidence informed responses and interventions to address the issue and support those affected by it.. You can register for the event at: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_sGZAMQ8MR-amF8nRW-P4KQ
