Welcome to tema.ca
We help those who spend their lives helping you.
- It is estimated that 8% of Canadians suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
- Our research indicates that this number is two to three times higher within the emergency services sectors.
- 16% to 24% of our emergency services personnel suffer with Post Trauatic Stress Disorder.
- We also estimate this number to be low due to the stigma associated with seeking and accepting help!
- It is estimated that Canadian emergency services personnel receive $1.37 per day to offset the costs of psychological counselling.
Sometimes those who save lives need to heal!
The men and women of our emergency and military services see tragic events every day. They witness human suffering up close and it sometimes becomes very difficult to cope with the aftermath.
Smells, sounds and reliving witnessed events create lasting painful memories that haunt these men and women for life. It is their legacy for helping others in times of human suffering.
The Tema Conter Memorial Trust was established to end the silence and ease the suffering.
Through research, education, training, and through the provision of peer and psychological support, we aim to help these men and women when they need it most.
Help us, help them.
