All the details to the events which will be held in Halifax and Sydney Nova Scotia can be accessed on their web site.
There will be an Education day which was highly successful in Toronto and there will also be a Gala dinner.
If you are concerned about PTSD and ways to help our hereos then this is the event for you.
Help us, help them.
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 Traumatic Stress Disorder.
- We also estimate this number to be low due to the stigma associated with seeking and accepting help!
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.

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.
The aftermath sometimes means that they will suffer with lasting memories that just won't go away. Recalling the smells, remembering the sounds and reliving the witnessed events sometimes haunt these men and women for life.
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.

Guest Speaker:
Former Canadian Medic Who Lost Both Legs in Afghanistan
The Long Walk Home
In his keynotes, Franklin shares stories about the work he and his fellow soldiers were doing in Afghanistan. Whatever your feelings on Canada's involvement, he brings an articulate, non-polemical and rarely glimpsed human element to discussions of our mission. With affable charm and perspective, he also talks about the infamous bombing -- about how a combination of improvisational teamwork, mental toughness and vigorous training kept him alive. At the core of his talk is the immense hope he held onto, even when things looked bleakest, to see his family and to be able to walk his son to school every morning.
