Veterans and First Responders Mental Health: Finding Hope After Trauma | Rally Point Australia.
Episode 38 Australian Army veteran Kerry‑Anne Hersbach joins Amit Singh for a powerful and deeply human conversation about service, lived experience, and the creation of Rally Point Australia — a new support hub built for veterans, first responders, serving members, and their families. Kerry‑Anne shares her journey from enlisting straight out of school in the early 90s, to navigating life as a veteran, a partner to a veteran, and a mother of one. Through years of working in the support space, she saw the gaps — the missing connection points, the lack of accessible help, and the silent struggles carried by both veterans and first responders. RallyPoint Australia was born from that lived experience. In this episode we explore: • Why lived experience is the backbone of meaningful support. • The shared challenges between veterans and first responders. • How Rally Point Australia aims to become a single trusted place for help, information, and connection. • The importance of family in the wellbeing journey. • Kerry‑Anne’s daily mindfulness habit that transformed her mental health. • Her message to anyone feeling hopeless: “You are not alone.” This conversation is raw, grounding, and full of heart. If you serve, have served, or support someone who does this episode will stay with you. kerry@rallypoint.au #STRONGLegacy #RallyPointAustralia #VeteransSupport#FirstResponders #AustralianArmy #MentalHealthMatters #YouAreNotAlone#LeadershipPodcast #AmitSingh #CommunitySupport #OperationalWellbeing#ServiceAndSacrifice #ResilienceBuilding #MindfulnessPractice #DefenceCommunity#PoliceLeadership #FireAndRescue #AmbulanceLife #VeteransAustralia#PurposeAndConnection #WellbeingAtWork #HumanPerformance #CultureAndLeadership#PodcastAustralia
