Description (French)
Le projet de recherche « Purpose After Service through Sport (PASS) » a été conçu et est offert par l’intermédiaire de l’Université de la Colombie Britannique. La transition de la vie militaire à la vie civile peut comporter des défis pour les vétérans, et le projet PASS offre des possibilités qui favorisent les liens sociaux et le bien être. Les participants jouent au hockey balle et peuvent ensuite avoir accès à d’autres services de soutien comme du counseling et des renseignements sur la transition de carrière. Grâce au financement provenant du Fonds pour le bien être des vétérans et de leur famille, l’Université souhaite étendre le projet PASS à l’échelle du pays.
