One of the things we've heard from families is they identify as a military family. They're a military family forever. Oftentimes what happens is the care that's available, as limited as it might be in some locations, is focused on the individual. It's partly silos, partly privacy, but an individual is going to get care. But it's the family affected by that crisis that also may need care. So it's those kids who Phil was talking about. It's those classroom teachers who see this little 10-year-old crying at his desk and need to reach out.
We haven't yet come up with a good way to provide comprehensive, family-based support, whether it's health care community services or the like. Yet we know that if families are there, they're the ones who are going to provide the linkages. They're the ones who are going to provide the connection. They're the ones who are going to be there in that basement at three o'clock in the morning to call the crisis line. We need to think more holistically.
In most provinces now all their health care services are patient first. What about the family first, the circle of support that is going to make that treatment a success, that is going to provide the continuity, the navigation, that's going to be there when they need to reach out for support?
