In collaboration with Veterans and Family members and in partnership with the Centre for Suicide Prevention, the Atlas Institute for Veterans and Families has released a new suite of suicide prevention resources. The resources aim to support both Veterans and their Family members so they can find answers based on the experiences of people like them for the questions they may have about mental health and suicide. The resources aim to acknowledge and support people’s needs at different points along the continuum of experiences for both the Veteran and the Family member.
Wounded Warriors Canada and the Atlas Institute for Veterans and Families have introduced a new training course for health care providers. “Introduction to Trauma-Exposed Professionals” aims to enhance the understanding and treatment of mental health issues in Canadian Armed Forces Veterans, Royal Canadian Mounted Police, public safety personnel, and their Families. The course, developed by Dr. Tim Black, addresses the unique challenges faced by these groups. The first 500 eligible health care providers can access the course for free, improving support and care for trauma-exposed Veterans and their Families.
