Our Collaborations
Badge of Life Canada is extremely proud to network and collaborate with numerous therapists across Canada and beyond.
We are extremely grateful for all of the therapists who donate their personal time to attend and assist with our Programs.
Vote for your favourite therapist and have them recognized during our November 2, 2018 Fundraising Gala, "The Blue Ball".
Chaplains Corner
Badge of Life Canada believes that there is no one specific or magic pill for first responders that can be prescribed for those facing an OSI condition from trauma exposure.
We believe that an individual must experience positive growth with the mind, body and spirit.
We collaborate with Chaplains who can assist with spiritual requirements outside of a specific religion or practice.
September 3-7, 2019 we are hosting a course for Chaplains with CISD training.
Are you ready to answer the call?
Crossing the threshold, asking for assistance and investing in yourself along your own Hero's Journey can lead to positive post-traumatic growth while moving from isolation into a community of Tribe-like mentors and allies who can demonstrate that there are #StrengthinNumbers
