Crawl, Walk, Run Project
Empowering Veterans through Education, Wellbeing & Sustainability
Proudly sponsored by the Men’s Mental Health and Suicide Prevention Small Grants Program – NSW Health
About the Project
Yellow Dove Australia is proud to introduce the Crawl, Walk, Run Project, a transformative 20-week initiative designed to uplift and empower up to 40 male veterans through a holistic blend of education, therapeutic support, and guided physical activities.
The project is built on three of the four foundational pillars of our charity:
🔹 Education
🔹 Wellbeing
🔹 Sustainability
Our program is culturally safe, professionally guided, and tailored specifically to support the mental, physical, and social health of veterans transitioning into civilian life.
What’s Involved
Participants will experience a carefully curated journey that combines structure, healing, and growth. Key components of the project include:
🔹 DVA Educational Sessions
Understanding rights, entitlements, and pathways to support through the Department of Veterans’ Affairs.
🔹 Physical Therapy Modalities
Facilitated by Yellow Dove Australia’s professional partner physiotherapist, helping improve physical mobility and reduce injury.
🔹 Veterans Mental Health Education
Delivered by a mental health professional specializing in veteran care, offering tools and strategies to improve mental resilience and emotional regulation.
🔹 DVA Financial Literacy & Planning
Taught by a finance educator and ex-service member, providing practical guidance on managing finances in post-service life.
🔹 Guided Outdoor Recreation
Led by an active veteran volunteer, fostering social connection, purpose, and healthy routines through nature-based activities.
Who It’s For
This project is open to male veterans seeking connection, support, and tools to thrive in their post-service journey. Whether you’re navigating transition, recovery, or simply looking for a community of peers – Crawl, Walk, Run is here for you.
