SMSRC Community Information Sessions
On this page
We offer information sessions about the various programs, services, and initiatives for the wider Defence community. These sessions provide information and offer you an opportunity to ask questions anonymously.
Sessions are held virtually on MS Teams Live Event. You do not need to register for a session and can simply join one of the following information sessions using the link below. The platform was chosen to ensure that your participation will remain anonymous. MS Teams Live Events are live broadcasts that can also be recorded. The only faces, names and voices that will be on screen are those of our presenter and our moderator. No other participants will see your name. You will also be able to ask questions anonymously.
A trained counsellor from our 24/7 line will also be present in case you need support during a session.
