Our Clinical Team
Behind the therapy itself, and in front of those we serve, is our clinical team. We have assembled a group of over 100 clinicians nationally who possess the cultural competency necessary to support the unique mental health needs of uniformed service members and their families. When you combine our leading-edge programs, with the vast clinical expertise of our facilitators, the results are life-changing.

Occupational Awareness Training
Introducing Warrior Health – a new platform that provides Occupational Awareness Training to clinicians (social workers, psychologists, physicians, and case managers) to help provide insight into the unique nuances of stoic service cultures that are typical of Military and First Responder work environments. Additionally, Warrior Health will serve as a resource to connect Veterans, First Responders and their family members with occupationally aware clinicians from a national AirBnB-style healthcare provider directory.
Visit Warrior Health today to learn more and participate in the training: www.warriorhealth.ca
Culturally Specific Support for Clients:
We specialize in culturally specific group trauma therapy for injured Veterans, First Responders and their families. Given the unique and often complex needs of your clients, we provide seamless access for members (serving or retired) and referral support for healthcare professionals who often don’t know where to turn next for alternative forms of therapy.
Team Effort
Our clinicians and service provider partners are vital to our success. You may be providing local counselling to those we serve or you may be referring into our programming. Regardless of the type of relationship we have, we’re in this together to help provide timely access to culturally specific operational stress injury support for those who so bravely serve Canada.
Join our National Team of Clinicians!
To learn more about our programs, or if you’re interested in becoming a WWC clinician in any one of our group trauma programs, please reach out to our Director of Health Services, Phil Ralph: phil@woundedwarriors.ca
