When we speak about the military member having to identify it as a priority for him that his family receive information or receive support, what I'm referring to is that often there will be a host of issues that have been raised and identified. And if the military member is in denial or is not able to actually focus on the issues external to himself, that's when the family can sometimes fall through the cracks. Presently there is no mechanism in place to engage other resources.
For example, with a straight referral through a consent form to release information so that this information could come over to the military family resource centre or to another professional organization, they could in fact be engaged at that time. Often families will sort of wander a bit until they are able to access the military family resource centre.
