In August 2023, our organization received a grant from Veterans Affairs Canada to support mental health and wellness projects for Veterans. Since then, we have been providing crucial suicide prevention and crisis response training, along with wellness programming, to individuals supporting Veterans.
We are pleased to announce a final opportunity to participate in these trainings at no cost.
