Canadian Critical Incident Stress Foundation

The Canadian Critical Incident Stress Foundation is honoured to announce the first support camp for families and children of fallen Emergency Service workers. As a national organization, the Canadian Critical Incident Stress Foundation recognizes the need not only to support our active duty emergency personnel but to also support and never forget the families and children of those members that have made the ultimate sacrifice.

By its very nature, Emergency Services are a high risk occupation which could result in a tragic loss, not only to Line of duty death but also suicide of an active or retired member. The loss of a member to a family is tremendous and incredibly challenging to deal with but to a child can be even greater. Many children experience feelings of confusion, anger, fear, isolation and depression

Camp F.A.C.E.S. aims to provide families who have suffered this tragic loss the opportunities to be with others who have experienced similar loss. With trained personnel and mental health oversight, these families will have the opportunity to experience some normalcy all while developing life long friendships.
