Veterans Affairs committee  I'm hoping it will be, because I think that's an extension of what a soldier is when he goes. An occupational therapist looks at the roles that are lacking, that are not being met day to day because of an operational stress injury. So when you do an assessment from an occupational therapist's standpoint, you're actually looking at roles that aren't developing, and obviously one of the roles of the soldier is to be a husband, or a spouse, or a father, so you're going to help them get back into those routines.

Veterans Affairs committee  Good afternoon. My name is Helen Gough and I would like to thank you for allowing me to be a witness here today. I'm speaking today first as a military spouse and secondly as an occupational therapist. My opinions don't reflect those of the Canadian Association of Occupational Therapists, DND, the Canadian Forces, or Veterans Affairs.
