Deployment Support in Montreal Region

Our services are aimed at providing support to families dealing with the challenges that an absence can bring, whether the absence is related to a military deployment, transfer, course or mission. The services are confidential and free. 
 
Our social worker can meet with the family and close friends of a military member to help them experience the absence in a positive way. The specialist can go over various things, from establishing a new routine to handling parent-child relationships, managing stress, communicating as a couple, preparing for a move and so on. Our Family Separation and Reunion team strives to provide the resources and tools that will meet the needs of families dealing with a military member’s absence.

Psychosocial Consultations

Whether you are a military member’s spouse, child or closest relative, our Separation and Reunion Coordinator is here to meet with you – individually, as a couple or as a family – to provide a free and confidential consultation. The purpose of the meetings is to give you a space where you can talk about your concerns with a professional who is familiar with the military lifestyle, and you will obtain positive and effective support adapted to your needs.
 
For further information or to make an appointment, contact our Pyschosocial Counsellor by email or by phone at 450-358-7099, ext. 2911.

Support Group

To end their isolation and find support and comfort, military family members (spouses, children and close relatives) can join a discussion or support group. The availability, schedule, location, content and format of the meetings are determined according to the level of demand and the participants’ interests. This service is free and confidential. 

Topics that may be discussed: 

• The deployment cycle 
• Stress management 
• Communication 
• Post-traumatic injuries 
• The military member’s return and how to maintain healthy relationships 
• And more 

To join a group, share your experiences or simply find out what it’s all about, contact our Pyschosocial Counsellor by email or by phone at 450-358-7099, ext. 2911.
