Beyond Disability has joined forces with Dandenong/Cranbourne RSL Welfare to help VETS with PTSD.
- To help veterans to get in touch with fellow servicemen, Beyond Disability (BDI) has a Vets communication program using internet programs like Skype.
- To qualify you must have a service number, be the widow or carer of a serviceman.
- The RSL will try to arrange a fellow serviceman or widow to help train you.
- BDI provides its own laptops and wireless broadband. You do not have to buy these things.
- We own the equipment and fix or replace it when necessary.
- BDI can provide voice activated laptops for those who can speak clearly but cannot use their hands.
- You only pay $11 a month program fee if you have your own broadband.
- If you do not have your own broadband BDI subsidises the broadband cost.
- For the laptop and broadband full package total fees are $23 a month.
- This volunteer Beyond Disability program is directed at those suffering isolation, PTSD or widows and carers who have lost contact with former friends.
- If you have an RSL buddy you served with who could be your volunteer that would be a big help to you. Just try Skype. It is a brilliant online way to see your mates online and share a joke and beer with them right in front of you on the screen.
