Canadian Legacy Project

Sadly, we are seeing similar results in Canada, with the majority of homeless Veteran programs geared to their male counterparts. As a charity, we are investing in solutions and partnerships to support our unhoused female Veterans.

Nearly half of female vets in VA homeless programs have experienced sexual trauma in the military Nearly 45% of female veterans in homeless programs offered by the Department of Veterans Affairs in fiscal 2023 had documented histories of sexual trauma in the military.

In psychology, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is defined as a response to experiencing traumatic or stressful events that create feelings of horror or helplessness. A neuroscience-informed view suggests that what has been called PTSD is in fact a biological injury that can be seen through brain scans.

Though PTSD is a common term mental healthcare professionals use, Stella and others have suggested a new term – Post Traumatic Stress Injury (PSTI) – instead of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. By talking about Post-Traumatic Stress as an injury, we can reduce stigmas around healing.

At Stella, we have a range of proven treatments for the symptoms and conditions associated with trauma exposure. While many mental healthcare resources highlight the 17 most common PTSD symptoms, there are actually more.
