operational stress recovery program
2o days residential program
(women only & men only programs)
Location: British Columbia
Cost: Free
Women have a unique experience in the workplace, and particularly in military and police settings where they are a distinct minority. Many women experiencing an operational stress injury will be more comfortable participating in a small group if it is a same gender group. The women in this program will have a unique opportunity to share, learn and be understood by other women who likely have had similar experiences. This connection will be a powerful aspect of recovery and will reduce the social isolation of women suffering from an operational stress injury such as depression or PTSD. The support networks established may well last long after the program is over and may be a source of ongoing support and encouragement.
The program will be planned and conducted by female therapists, and will also have female guest speakers.
The program will be headed up by Dr. Tina Rochford, Ms. Mary Graydon, MCC, CCC and Ms. Rita Paré.

Can Praxis
Can Praxis uses walk-along exercises with horses as a training aid. As a ‘flight’ animal they react to human body language. Horses react to what they see; it is their body language that speaks volumes about humans in their proximity. As EAL facilitators, we offer a translation the horses’ behaviour to participants in order to increase their own self-awareness.
