Peer Support Groups
OSI-CAN provides Community-based Peer Support Groups for our target demographic, Military/Veteran members and Public Safety Personnel (Police, Fire Fighters, Paramedics, Corrections, Healthcare). Our groups address the challenges of OSI/PTSI through the neutrality of safe spaces and free, confidential, lived experience support. No diagnosis is required, just the courage to attend and find helpful information and resources.
NOTICE:
Many of our groups have now transitioned back to in-person, however, each group is also offering a hybrid model. This means that if you choose to attend you can register to visit a physical location or you can join through our zoom platform by contacting our Provincial Service Coordinator directly through the link below.
