Our Mission
The Veterans Transition Network is a national non-profit initiative created to help re-integrate Canadian veterans with their families and communities. Many of our returned men and women in uniform carry stories with them that they feel cannot ever be let go or understood by civilians, and this emotional gulf between military and civilian life can take many painful years or decades to cross alone.
Our group-based Veterans Transition Program gives vets a place to help each other unburden themselves of these experiences and examine the impact of their military service. Refined through 15 years of research, the VTP has helped well over 200 veterans work through their traumas, find fulfilling careers and rebuild relationships with spouses, partners, families, and children.
