114.Defence Partners Navigating the Pandemic - a podcast by Beck Rayner

Earlier in the year, I caught up with a number of Defence Partners to talk about how they, and their Defence Member and Family, navigated the pandemic, lockdown and COVID restrictions throughout 2020 and more recently 2021.

They all had varied experiences. Some had a surprisingly positive story to tell while others were understandably pushed to the absolute brink, for various reasons, including long separations, uncertainty, isolation and support and services that found it hard to move with the ever-changing situation and needs of Defence Families.

Lessons were learnt and some hard decisions, going forward, may have to be made about how Defence life will work for us in the future but overwhelmingly it is clear that we all just did our best when faced with some impossible situations.

These are the stories of Defence Partners Chantelle, Stephanie, Julia (along with her Army husband Jai) and Lauren.

Next Week- Part 2 of podcast episode Defence Partners Navigating the Pandemic, the last MWL ep for 2021, will be available to listen to.
