MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT AND CEO, FARDOUS HOSSEINY, AND CHAIR OF THE BOARD, TELAH MORRISON

With each passing year we are reminded that Canada’s Veteran and Family community has sacrificed to the greatest degree and, because of that, deserves the support of Canadians in return.

At the Atlas Institute, we believe we can contribute most effectively to the ongoing journey to well-being of those who have selflessly served, and their Families, by providing the evidence that can change their lives for the better. We gain valuable insights through the thoughtful process of engagement — engagement with the very community we were established to serve and with those who work with them such as researchers, clinicians and service providers to build the fulsome picture. We listen to their stories through our various platforms, engage at public events in communities across this country and then wrap those stories in evidence through research that is grounded in the Canadian experience so that it can inform decision-making intended to make a meaningful difference in their lives. Then, we work together to co-create evidence-informed resources based on what Veterans and Families have said they need that are easily accessible, including supporting those who provide services with access to trainings that are highly applicable to the specific needs of Veterans and Families. It is the continuum of how we work with, and for, the Veteran and Family community.

As we deepen our engagement with the Veteran and Family community, we continue to see our mission resonate across generations and conflicts. While the needs of these individuals are complex, their message is clear: they served our country and now need and deserve its support in return.

We are proud to report on the results we are achieving year-over-year and how they demonstrate that a focused organization with a passionate and committed team with a clear purpose and mission can achieve great results. Our latest annual report showcases what our team has accomplished in support of Canada’s Veterans and Families over this past year.

Warm regards,
