On Wednesday January 23, The Honourable Jody Wilson-Raybould, Minister of Veterans Affairs and Associate Minister of National Defence, visited the Faculty of Education to announce a $250,000 grant awarded to the UBC Centre of Group Counselling & Trauma (CGCT). The Minister was joined by President Santa Ono and Dean Blye Frank.
With an estimated 601,000 Canadian Armed Forces Veterans in Canada, 81,200 of those in British Columbia, it is extremely important to make sure their post service wellbeing is maintained, not just physically but emotionally and mentally. This is especially important as we have started to recognize the immense toll that war and military service can have on those who choose to devote their lives to protecting people around the world. This new funding will help open a new clinic and extend the amount of help that the CGCT provides.
