In this month’s episode we speak with Dr. Heidi Cramm about the research that she - and her team at the Families Matter Research Group - are doing about the impact of Military life on the family.
Trigger warning: In this discussion we do talk about suicide and suicide ideation as it pertains to CAF Members and their families. This discussion begins at the 20:00 mark. Please listen with caution.
In our discussion we talk about:
· How the definition of family is changing;
· What it means to be resilient;
· What research is being done regarding Military families in Canada and in other countries;
· How no one really knows ‘what they signed up for’; and
· How the challenges facing families change throughout our lives and careers.
About our guest:
Heidi Cramm is an occupational therapist and associate professor at Queen's University. Since her time working in children's mental health in a military community, she's been committed to conducting military families health research for the past 10 years and is the Research Advisor at the Canadian Institute for Military & Veteran Health Research (CIMVHR). In 2021, she consolidated her research under the banner of the Families Matter Research Group (FMRG). Through the FMRG based at Queen’s University, she leads a variety of health and well-being applied and collaborative research designed to improve the lives of military, veterans, public safety personnel and their families. Dr. Cramm and her teams explore how the occupational risks and requirements of military and public safety service shape the roles, routines, and rhythms of family life, with a keen eye to how mental health and impacts of trauma can affect families and how, in turn, families can affect the serving personnel.
