OTTAWA, Ontario (GLOBE NEWSWIRE)
Canadian Veterans now have a lifeline for support – the Burns Way, a first-of-its-kind anonymous peer support program launched today. A not-for-profit corporation founded, funded, and supported by TryCycle Data Systems, the Burns Way is a ground-breaking peer-support initiative designed to empower Canadian Veterans through anonymous, judgment-free connections with trained peers – other Veterans whose lived experiences in service make them uniquely able to respond.
“The Burns Way is committed to supporting Veterans with resources and meaningful connections with real people – we don’t use chatbots or AI,” said Cameron MacLeod, Project Lead. “We are proud to offer this new layer of anonymous support, especially for those Veterans who are hesitant to seek help.”
The Burns Way provides Veterans with a safe, anonymous space to connect with trained peers to begin their journey to wellness, ensuring that every interaction is judgment-free and grounded in trust and understanding.
What makes the Burns Way different? The Burns Way is:
- Designed specifically for Canadian Veterans by Veterans
- Centred on the core principles of anonymity and trust
- Focused on underserved groups, including Indigenous Veterans and 2SLGBTQI+ Veterans
