OSI-CAN has several opportunities available to help support our initiative:

Grant Writer - Fund Development

OSI-CAN is seeking a motivated individual to assist us with the grant application process and technical writing.

 

Facilitators

OSI-CAN is seeking lived experienced peers who are interested in being trained facilitators with our groups. If you belong to a peer program, have experience leading groups, or a background in peer support we're interested in meeting you.

 

 

 

Volunteers

OSI-CAN is always looking for people who are keen to assist us in helping and supporting our military/veteran and first responder communities. If you have an expertise that might help support OSI-CAN's non-profit efforts we'd like to hear from you.

The target demographic of OSI-CAN are but are not limited to: former and serving members of the Canadian Armed Forces, Allied Armed Forces, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and Frontline Protectors --- which include Municipal Police Services, CN Police Services, Emergency Medical Services, Fire Protection Services, Hospital Trauma personnel, Nurses, Social Workers, Coroners, Indigenous Emergency Management, Emergency Communications Specialists, Victim Services Personnel,  Wildland Firefighters, Corrections Officers, “Volunteer” First Responders, Conservation Officers, Aboriginal Emergency Services personnel, Tow Truck drivers who clean up accident scenes and their spouses/partners. This demographic was chosen due to the commonality of experiences they share through the service they provide to the country and community. We have a special interest and support volunteer first responders as they are not eligible for programs such as Workers' Compensation.

OSI-CAN Target Demographic

Our mission is to inspire hope and contribute to the continuous well-being and recovery process of Veterans and Front Line Protectors across Canada.

 

We seek to empower and encourage them to strive for recovery through peer and professional support while creating greater public awareness.

We at OSI-CAN do not see PTSD or Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder as a Disorder, we see it as an Injury you can recover from.  If you are suffering from the symptoms of an Occupational or Operational Stress Injury, then a PTSD or PTSI diagnosis is not required to get our help
