2019 WiDS Annual Memorial Scholarship Breakfast
2019 - Honouring women in defence and security organizations who have lost their lives by suicide, and those who continue to struggle with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and mental health. As we pay tribute to those who have died, we aim to inspire a future where, we work together to reduce the stigma around mental health and improve support services for those employed in the defence and security field.
Let us pause for a moment to remember those who aren’t with us today – those who didn’t make it all the way home.
And let us recognize, support and thank those that are working their way back – such as Natacha Dupuis and Annabelle Dionne - their perseverance and resiliency is inspiring.
