This morning we welcomed Lisa and Heidi from Garnet Families, an organization dedicated to providing free services to help meet the special needs of the families of those in the Military, First Responders, Corrections and more. These families experience unique stresses related to the work their family members do.
Heidi's husband is a firefighter, and Lisa's husband is in the military, so both have experienced the issues that the families they seek to help have. Through their work at Queen's University, Heidi and Lisa have helped develop evidence based resources to help Garnet Families.
Through the comments and questions after their presentation, we realized that 5 of 8 members at the meeting have a connection to someone in the targeted groups, so many of us are part of Garnet Families.
