The positive impacts of sport on general well-being is common knowledge, however, Invictus is taking it one step further and using its sports program to help veterans and their families recover and return to civilian life.

Invictus Australia CEO Michael Hartung told Perth Live sport is a “powerful” tool.

“What it really shows is that if you’re facing physical or mental health issues there’s a pathway there to support your recovery or rehabilitation,” said Mr Hartung.

“It is not the magic cure but hopefully, it’s a catalyst it’s part of a treatment cycle or treatment plan… it sets you up for ongoing engagement and participation.”
