Testimonial: How OSI-CAN Changed My Life

"As a nurse, I’ve spent years caring for others—through long hours, tough shifts, and heartbreaking moments. I thought I could handle anything. But the weight of witnessing so much pain, loss, and trauma started to crush me. It wasn’t just physical exhaustion; it was emotional. I found myself struggling to sleep, avoiding friends and family, and feeling like I was falling apart.

That’s when I found OSI-CAN. A colleague recommended their peer support group, and I’ll admit, I was hesitant at first. Opening up about my struggles felt like admitting weakness, something I wasn’t used to doing. But from the very first session, I realized I wasn’t alone. I was surrounded by people who understood—veterans and other public safety personnel who had faced similar challenges.

OSI-CAN gave me more than a support group; it gave me hope. Through their resources, I found a counsellor who helped me process the emotions I had buried for years. Their equine-assisted therapy sessions allowed me to connect with myself in ways I didn’t think were possible. Most importantly, I found a community that reminded me that taking care of myself is okay.

Today, I’m back to doing what I love—caring for others. But now, I know how to care for myself, too. I’m forever grateful to OSI-CAN for helping me find balance, healing, and the strength to keep going. They don’t just support us; they save lives. And for that, I will always be thankful."
