When the peace treaty is signed, the war isn't over for the veterans, or the family. It's just starting.

FORGE THROuGH TO A BRIGHTER DAY
Forge Through is a unique opportunity to unplug and meet like minded people to guide you through the first steps of getting support and finding your tribe and creating a work of pride.
The three day program is hosted by Dean and Gina at their property situated in a picture-perfect valley near the mighty Clyde river, just 15 minutes from Batemans Bay on the south coast of New South Wales. The program was developed to assist with supporting the journey of veterans and first responders that are, or have suffered from, the demands of their role serving the people of Australia.
Dean served in the Australian Regular Army before pursing a career in the New South Wales Police Force. On his departure from the Police Force, he found benefit and a creative outlet through designing and forging knives. He is now a renowned bladesmith with a passion for mentoring and guiding others with similar experiences.
