We are trying to give an increasing role to family members. Once again, I would encourage you to invite Dr. Stéphane Guay, who is specialized in the role of the family and of the spouse with regard to post-traumatic stress disorder. He works at the Louis-H. Lafontaine Hospital in Montreal and at the Sainte-Anne Hospital for veterans. He could really be of great help to you.
I know that more and more attempts are being made to create groups that include spouses who meet with the soldiers and discuss things with them. In addition, groups are created solely for spouses. We are trying to increase the family's role because we know that a traumatic event has a ripple effect. The impact does not only occur at the point where the rock hits the water, but it makes waves in families and through the entire social fabric. We know for a fact that therapy improves when spouses participate. We know that spouses also need help and they often suffer from distress. Therefore, we create groups to help them.
Once again, let me encourage you to invite someone who is within the Canadian Forces and who could give you the latest updates.
