Exploring the Experience of Young Adult Children of Canadian Veterans
Summary
Do you have a parent who is a Canadian veteran? Did your parent develop a psychological or emotional problem as a result of their military service?
We want to hear from you!
Researchers at the University of Calgary want to know more about your experience of having a parent whose mental health was impacted by an operational stress injury while you were a child or youth. OSI refers to a broad range of psychological problems such as posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety disorders, or depression, resulting from military duties.
