About Survive to Thrive Nation

Our Back Story
Survive to Thrive Nation was developed by former infantry soldier, Iraq and East Timor veteran Dane Christison.
In 2009, Post-service, Dane reached out for clinical care but for various reasons his mental health declined further into turmoil. Untimely and bureaucratic stressors to get appropriate support, programs that did not provide the lived-experience frameworks necessary for tangible results nor the holistic answers he needed led Dane to go on a personal development journey that would eventually lead to Dane “jumping back in the hole with veterans to show them the way out.” By 2015, Dane became an evaluated personal development coach and pioneer of innovative mental health support. Survive to Thrive Nation is a multi award-winning organisation that has proven to save and change thousands of lives. Dane created the worlds-first online, evidence-based, mental health and transitioning success program for current and former service personnel. The program additionally provides a phone app for routine to achieve positivity and strength, 24hr access to an online support community, and additional peer mentors and coaches (veterans coaching veterans). The program has been successfully tested in three separate clinical evaluations proving to prevent mental health conditions, and significantly lower PTSD, anxiety, depression, and anger whilst improving happiness. To date the program has had over 7000 completions and zero reported suicides.
Today Survive to Thrive Nation has multiple programs for the general-public and including (but not limited to) lived-experience coaching, psychosocial hazard support, psychology treatment and pastoral care. Click here for more information: www.survivetothrivenation.com/home
