Services Provided by Veterans Transition Network
Through the delivery of the Veterans Transition Program (VIP), the VTN offers unique services across Canada for Canadian Forces and RCMP veterans in transition. The VTP is Canada's first group-based program for veterans transitioning from military to civilian life. In each program, participants spend roughly 100 hours over 3 weekends living with and helping each other to identify and overcome barriers that hinder their transition. Sessions take place in a completely confidential environment facilitated by clinicians and paraprofessionals. The VTP focuses on the transition process, builds skills for self-regulation and communication, and provides strategies for coping with traumatic incidents that may have occurred during the course of their service in the military. Supported by 20 years of university research, these programs have helped over 650 veterans across Canada to reconnect emotionally with their families and communities and transition into a successful and productive civilian life.
