Hi everyone, this is forwarded FYI. The last date to register is June 15.
Atlas has run two groups so far and is wanting to run more to promote Canadian based research on Vet concerns. Individuals attending are a mix of CAF and RCMP vets, family members of and those working in research for vets.

Dear Sarah-Louise,
The Atlas Institute’s Applied Research team is inviting Veterans with acquired physical disabilities and Veteran Family members to express interest in taking part in a virtual research consultation on disability and mental health. The purpose of this consultation is to learn from people with lived experience of disability to better understand their well-being needs, identify what may be missing from current research, and determine what topics could be explored in future research at Atlas
As part of this consultation, participants will be invited to take part in two small-group discussions on Zoom, each lasting two hours. The first session will focus on discussion and sharing perspectives. The second session will be a validation session, where participants will be asked to return to review and confirm whether the main ideas from the first discussion were captured accurately.
Space is limited and applicants will be chosen to include as many experiences as possible.
To participate, you must:
• Identify as a Veteran with an acquired physical disability, or a Family member of a Veteran with an acquired physical disability
• Be interested in and willing to take part in small-group discussions about disability and mental health among Veterans and Families
• Commit to attending both virtual sessions
Note: Although definitions vary across contexts, in this project, acquired physical disability is defined as a physical impairment or functional limitation that develops after birth due to injury, illness or another health condition, and that affects bodily functioning such as mobility, strength, endurance or coordination.
