It's absolutely essential. I live in Halifax, and at CFB Halifax, the MFRC there was one of the pilot sites, one of seven, I believe.
I'm fortunate to have colleagues and former students who work there, so I was kept apprised of how things were going. Because of the stigmatisation around mental health in particular, there's a row to hoe to encourage people to come in through the door, but I think it has great potential, and I'm very happy to see that it's been rolled out across the country.
