Colonel Ethell is correct, yes, families have always been part of the OSISS program. Our mission statement says it's for CF members, veterans, and their families. They've never been excluded from our program. They've been there from the very beginning in terms of design.
This program started off as a project. In the pilot phase we started with only four people, who happened to be veterans themselves. Then we implemented the family part. The family component of the program was fully implemented in 2005.
So yes, families are very much part of the OSISS program.
