Eggshells NEWS – October 2, 2025
It’s not about them…
It’s about YOU!
By Monica, Eggshells Program Coordinator
Exciting new program
Eggshells is a free, virtual, confidential mental health program designed exclusively for Veterans and Veteran Families. Eggshells combines counselling and addictions expertise with military and Veteran lived experience to provide individual, family, and group counselling, education, peer support, and facilitated healing.
Focused on YOU!
The Eggshells emphasis is on supporting loved ones as they navigate through this difficult process themselves — the focus is really on you, the loved one, not the person or people in your circle using substances. Eggshells is a safe place to land for loved ones and provides support with compassion and empathy in a judgment-free space.
For Veteran-connected loved ones
If you are a Veteran or Veteran-connected — a Veteran spouse/partner, parent, adult child, sibling, extended family member, or chosen family (friend or peer) — you may be eligible for Eggshells. Since Eggshells is about you, it is available regardless of whether your loved one is in active addiction, seeking or receiving treatment, in recovery, or if you are grieving the loss of a loved one to addiction. ◙
