Gita is an excellent Psychologist and has helped many first responders. She “gets it”. There are many good clinicians out there that can help us but you have to do your homework to see if they understand the complexities of what a first responder faces. Do they understand how our work impacts every portion of our lives, family, health, addictions, workplace stresses including WSIB and sanctuary trauma caused by our organizations. The most important is do I like and trust this person that is helping me. If you are trying to find one and don’t know where to start ask someone who you trust.

Thanks so much for the good work you’ve done with our first responders. We have worked together as colleagues and I can say that you are well-respected in the field of trauma therapy.

Gita has been a colleague and friend for many years. I've seen her thrive in every situation and help a lot of people in a meaningful way. She is an example for me in my own professional work and I appreciate all that she does!

I am very grateful for Canada Beyond The Blue, they have helped a lot in times of great need. There are many supports for first responders out there, very little support for our families.

Thanks so much Del for so clearly articulating the barriers for accessing mental health support and steps to take to give members a voice and the support they need. Ur most recent support to a spouse was helpful and appreciated.

Thanks for sharing this Rick
