I can't speak about the specific cases that you have referred to, and I don't know those cases, but I will speak generally from what I've heard you say.
Financial issues...yes, we certainly know that this is a factor—not always, mind you—and that in operational stress injuries people have financial issues. If you look back just in the situation that Laryssa has presented, when things go on for 11 years and the family is falling apart, people end up coping in very negative ways and get themselves and their families into very serious situations with serious financial impacts.
Certainly in the new Veterans Charter in Veterans Affairs there is a suite of programs helping individuals get on that road to recovery and wellness, and financial benefits are built into the suites of that program. I don't know if the individual you were referring to is part of that program, has been part of that program, or has tried to access that program, but I just wanted to point out that there are a number of financial benefits around the whole new Veterans Charter suite of programs.
In terms of children, I can't speak to that case, but I guess what I can say is that in Halifax we have two family peer support coordinators, and children are part of that family unit that they're working with. I don't know, but I would strongly encourage those two families, or however many, to access the service of the family peer support coordinator in Halifax—and maybe they already have—because they know the community. One of their goals and objectives when they start to work and continue as they work in the program is to really know the community resources. The resources may not be available within National Defence or within Veterans Affairs, but maybe there is a resource available in the community. Certainly Laryssa has seen this in her community of services that are available for children, which are outside of government departments but are community services. So I would strongly encourage you to have these families connect with OSISS. Because you're quite right, we provide peer support services until services are no longer needed in that family.
