Colonel Mann, it's good to see you again. Thank you for your service. Ladies and gentlemen, thank you all for coming.
We've learned an awful lot in these short programs we've had, and there's so much we've learned that trying to condense it all into one report is going to be very difficult. There are four things we've definitely heard of. I hear it from you and I've heard it from many people that identity loss is a big issue; stigma, not only of being labelled but also the stigma within the ranks as to how it's perceived; trust is a form of treatment, and it's one of the first stepping stones we need to look for, and that's part of what we want to do. How can we provide the appropriate treatment and the appropriate programs? Then the last are the stressors, when people don't have that stress, how stress adds to that.
I appreciate your comments. I'm going to try to get some answers. Ms. Spinks, what could you tell this committee about the support program you're talking about? What would be the best way for us to start from one, two, three, in setting up that support for families?
