Our Mission: To create a network among organizations who support CAF veterans, Emergency Responders and their families in meeting the array of challenges, such as: transition, mental health, and housing instability, by promoting collaboration that improves the delivery of services.
The group was diverse and only a few of the participants had attended a previous Forums.
The presenter from Flying Start Advocates, which is a new organization, founded locally, explained how the organization assists individuals in navigating the care environment and how they advocate for them with care providers. The presentation was well received and generated some considerable interest and discussion.
There was a brief update on the improvements to the RespectMap and website and the video of the Respectmap was played for the group.
The open general discussion was very good with all participants able to articulate their organizations core services and issues generating questions and discussion. The participants came away with greater knowledge and understanding of each other’s services, goals, and challenges.
