I think early intervention or prevention is really a key factor that helps improve the outcomes. DND has put a lot of work and effort on this, and we have to realize that someone who comes back from Afghanistan with PTSD will not become a Veterans Affairs client the day after. He may be treated by the Canadian Forces for a year or two before we see him, so we work in collaboration with them at that point. We share our best practices. We work in clinical programs with them so that there's continuity of treatment when they're released and they don't, the day they're released, come and get services with us that are so different from what they're receiving that there is discontinuity. We really work together on that front too.
