Minister for Veterans’ Affairs Dan Tehan said
improvements to an online resource for current and
former members of the Australian Defence Force (ADF)
would better help them manage stress.
Mr Tehan
said the High Res website had been updated
following user feedback to make it easier to use.
"The
High Res website is a valuable tool that current and
former ADF personnel can use to help them manage
stress," Mr Tehan said.
"Improvements to the website include a simple
step-by-step guide to developing a personal action plan,
tips for better sleep and self-help tools on controlled
breathing, muscle relaxation, managing negative or
distracting thoughts and emotions.
"Current
and former ADF personnel are increasingly seeking
digital support and the Department of Veterans’ Affairs
(DVA) is meeting this growing need through a range of
mental health websites and apps.
"I
encourage serving and ex-serving members of the ADF and
their families to visit the refreshed High Res
website."
The High
Res resource can be accessed through DVA’s At
Ease portal at
