New research to support what us black sheep knew all along. 🐈‍⬛

Those closest to us may demand the most conformity.

Asking for help is not a Veteran norm; I hope someday it will be the default.

Today on I hope everyone can take some time to learn some strategies for better wellness specific to men's health so we can all strive for health & wellness together.

This Men's Mental Health Awareness Day, let's challenge stigma and encourage meaningful conversations.

For many veterans, the transition to civilian life can bring unique mental health challenges. At the Veterans Transition Network, our group counselling programs provide a safe, supportive environment where veterans can connect with peers who understand their experiences, build resilience, and work toward healing together.

Seeking support is a sign of strength, not weakness. No one should have to face their struggles alone.



En cette Journée de sensibilisation à la santé mentale des hommes, brisons les tabous et ouvrons le dialogue.

Pour de nombreux vétérans, la transition vers la vie civile peut s'accompagner de défis importants en matière de santé mentale. Au Réseau de transition des vétérans, nos programmes de counseling de groupe offrent un espace sécuritaire où les vétérans peuvent échanger avec des pairs qui comprennent leur réalité, trouver du soutien et cheminer ensemble vers leur mieux-être.

Demander de l'aide est un signe de courage. Personne ne devrait avoir à traverser seul ses enjeux.

Attending the VAC Women Veteran's Forum virtually today (on lunch break). Four years ago I was on the Forum Planning Committee, so I know how much hard work and preparation goes into this event. ✨

Excited to see Cathy Priestman as MC because she ALWAYS livens things up with her sparkling personality and banter.

Sandra Perron gave an inspiring Keynote Speech, and the panel for "The Journey of Transition Starts with You" was articulate, experienced, and informative.

It is exciting to hear that many Women CAF/Veteran and CAF/Veteran Family support changes we championed for over my career are becoming reality.
I would be thrilled to retire my volunteer Advocate title. 😉

The experiences related by the in person attendees are hard to hear as they bring up some negative memories, but again, hearing what new policies and procedures for transition from serving CAF/RCMP to Veteran CAF/RCMP give me hope that current CAF/RCMP members may not have to face the same challenges I, and many of my peers have had to manage.

Turning hurt to hope. 🌷
