Quotes

"Our Veterans and still-serving CAF members experience trauma all too often when they put their lives on the line for their country?and those of our Allies. This is why organizations like Serene View Ranch, who offer programs to treat OSIs and other trauma-related injuries, are so important to our Veteran community. I commend them for the good work they've done and look forward to seeing the positive results that this funding will bring our Veterans."

The Honourable Lawrence MacAulay, Minister of Veterans Affairs and Associate Minister of National Defence

"Serene View Ranch Psychological Services has been honoured to provide a wide range of psychological programs to Veterans and their families for almost five years. Receiving funding from the Veteran and Family Well-Being Fund will provide the needed support to expand our evidence-based and trauma-informed programs so that our Veterans and their families receive the best possible treatments available for Operational Stress Injuries. We are also looking forward to exploring new research opportunities with UPEI, as we want to assess the effectiveness of a wide variety of upcoming psychological treatment modalities for trauma."
