The Veteran Wellness and Community Support Program bridges the gap between military and civilian life through holistic, trauma-informed care. We, in collaboration with veterans, veteran family members and service providers, offer practical and emotional support to veterans and their families, tailored to their lived realities. Rooted in empathy, cultural understanding, and community connection, this program helps veterans reclaim wellness, purpose, and belonging.
This province-wide program offers 1:1 mental health counselling and everyday support to veterans and their families, addressing issues such as PTSD, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. We provide wellness workshops, developed in collaboration with those who have lived experience, including veteran families.

Services are low-barrier, trauma-informed, and designed to meet each veteran where they are.
