Welfare 

It is a well recognised fact that in earning their awards, members will have been subjected to enormous physical and or emotional stresses and as a result may suffer in varying degrees from some form of psychological damage.   

One of our members, Pamela Davidson BM, is a qualified professional counsellor who has been appointed as the Association's Honorary Psychologist. Initial contact to reach Pamela by telephone is 0422 238 641 or email her here.
