THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 08, 2012 Lest We Forget The only program of its kind in Canada that assists veterans in their transition back to civilian life has received the full endorsement for national expansion from Royal Canadian Legion, along with $500,000 over the next two years. Originally established in 1997 by the University of British Columbia as the Veterans Transition Program with funding from the Legion BC/Yukon Command, the free program addresses the invisible wounds of service personnel to help them recover and regain a healthy, full life. "The University of British Columbia's pilot Veterans Transition Program involved some 275 Veterans and has proven to decrease depression and trauma and boost self-esteem ­ three of the primary barriers to making a successful transition to civilian life," Moore said. "The Legion is satisfied with the merits of the program at the local level and would now like to help UBC expand this program to meet the growing need for transition support for all CF Veterans. Any attempt at a national program delivery requires funds to increase awareness, advocacy and train more paraprofessionals across the country; a key role the Legion is proud to play" Moore said. "Soldiers returning from service face complex issues and require multiple layers of support. We are grateful to the Legion for helping make the Veterans Transition Program available across Canada," said Tim Laidler, Executive Director of the Veterans Transition Network, the non-profit organization formed at UBC that will administer the Veterans Transition Program. "This is one of the best examples of the community, postsecondary and troops working together to provide an established treatment program that will help all veterans."
