As Mr. Thompson alluded to in his opening remarks, the CAF transition group is responsible for providing casualty support and transition services to CAF members and their families to enable a seamless transition and to enhance well-being. While doing that, we pay particular attention to the ill and injured, as well as the families of deceased personnel.
As we support members transitioning through our centres, we use a framework that is based on the seven domains of well-being. Through that framework, we assess the areas related to the sense of purpose, finances, aspects of health, life skills and preparedness, social integration, housing and physical environment, and cultural and social environment. Those domains are all interdependent.
As an example, a housing concern can arise along with some income challenges or uncertainty. We can see health issues and family circumstances leading to limited support or difficulty navigating civilian services. Another example is that a health condition can affect employment, finances and relationships.
We therefore consider all aspects of transition when a person transitions and uses our services rather than looking at the single issue in isolation. There's a broad range of challenges that we can see based on the assessment of those seven domains of well-being.
