The members of the OSISS program have done a number of international presentations. We actually did a NATO presentation in 2006. I was a member of a working group on operational stress with Land Staff Headquarters before I became involved in OSISS.
Kathy and I have received numerous requests for information from colleagues across the world. Some U.K. individuals on the veterans affairs side have contacted us. We have always been extremely willing to share any information, including our training manual, our documentation, and our policies, with anyone. With the U.S., we've done that quite a bit. We've done it with the U.K.
Two years ago, in June, I did attend an international conference and I managed to connect with two other countries, Sweden and the Netherlands, which have a peer support program of some sort. We've been exchanging information. Actually, we've managed to get a full symposium in June on the different models of peer support across different countries. So yes, we are sharing.
The OSISS program was built without a blueprint. There was no blueprint of what this could look like. There was the AA model, which did not necessarily fit the needs of the Canadian Forces, so Kathy, Stéphane, and the members of the management team at the time really worked from scratch to develop the model we have.
